Colin, The upper left red light is your low gas pressure warning light. Assuming you have a Spica fuel pump, you may have tripped the gas inertia switch, which kills the power to the fuel pump. I have a 79 Spider and my inertia switch can be found next to the windshield wiper fluid reservoir tank on the passenger side firewall. Mine looks like pink plastic cylinder with a button on top, they also come in a square black box format. The switch can be reset.
Also, check the #1 fuse on the secondary fuse box and the #6 fuse on the main fuse box - if blown, they also will affect the fuel pump.

What I get now is the low fuel pressure indicator light (or at least I get the upper left hand red light) continuously on (which I've never seen before) and there is NO fuel pump sound at all.B I was, however, able to pull it out of the driveway and get it into the garage. I don't want to drive it any distance like that, of course, but it does in fact go. Is this consistent with a failed fuel pump? Or something else? Does the supplementary pump in the gas tank provide just enough fuel to allow it to go?
