Just got mine running well tonight. Bummer on yours.
All I can think of is a big problem that I could have had but noticed as I was installing it.
The distributor gear on the camshaft has a stud/key that goes into the cam for the mechanical fuel pump. Without that stud/key the cam will just spin and the pump will not work. Might not be the issue but something that you might be able to look at with the pump removed.
If lines look good after the fuel pump then trace back to the tank.

Man that's some quiet valve train. You sure the valves are adjusted properly and not to tight? lol.

Anyway, yeah a little hesitation/miss, is that cold or already warmed up?
