Luke,
I'd check in the tank if the pinched return line didn't increase pressure...
Did the tank/pump assy have a "pulsator" on it?  Looks like a turtle and 
goes between the pump outlet and the fuel line in the tank... If so, remove 
it and replace it with a section of high pressure FI line and clamps.  The 
pulsators love to seperate between the metal and plastic and leak pressure 
right back into the tank.  If not, ensure you used a good piece of FI fuel 
line between the pump and the line, and also that you have a good pickup 
sock on it... Pickup socks will collapse sometimes and plug the inlet.
