Dont waste your money on a light - they arent reliable and dont give you the information a guage does. You need a fuel pressure guage

OK so the light goes off indicating ya had low fuel pressure...................then ya start thinkin and thinkin and thinkin and it drives ya nuts not knowing what the fuel pressure is so ya buy a gauge

just do a gauge now

that and most of them are set on too low of pressure for a vp anyway so death is a real possibility

If you dont have access to the equipment and the know how to test the pressure switch a fuel pressure light is a waste of money.
