Rod is stuck? The rod that rides cam lobe and operates mech pump? If so, that would explain low fuel press.

Curious, have any info on the fuel pump such as spec, name, part number? That doesn't look like what I would consider enough to feed the BBC?

If you haven't already toasted the engine that fuel pump will.
