just a dummy light? or something deeper?

well i successfully completed my 720 injectors and walbro fuel pump on sunday

driving around tonigh ti see a trans am so i get on it to see if he would go, well afterwards a few ways down the road my fuel light comes on (never came on before) and i look and i'm at 1/8 th tank, just half mile back i was at a little over a quarter. and it kept dropping so i stopped at a gas station and nothing was spilling outside or inside the engine bay, well i drive home get gas, and the gauge is back to normal, but the fuel light is still on.

is it just the sauldering problem? or something deeper?

if its the sauldering anyone have any directions on how to do it myself?

The low fuel warning light is built into the sender/pump assembly in the gas tank.

Could you have pinched or disconnected something when you were putting in the new fuel pump???

I'd look for a connector that came undone then, or again a pinched wire. the road vibration can make either worse.

Check the sender in the fuel tank.
