You need a good pusher pump, a fuel pressure gauge, and a draw straw to fix yourself up real nice... and hopefully for your sake your vp still has a few good years left in her.

It's really up to you and what you need/can afford although they both run about the same, depending where you get it from. But right now you need a permanent FP gauge so you know what your vp is doing.
