Joe, If I recall correctly, a complete fuel pump insulation kit consists of the afore mentioned sleeves, a non-metallic washer which goes under the cap screw flat metal washer, and a thick gasket which fits between the pump and the block. With all these parts in place the pump is fully insulated from the engine. All of this can be made with easily obtained materials from vendors or maybe even a local hardware store. Also, the shield between the pump and exhaust manifold is important to keep heat off of the pump.

I Always enjoy your postings but sympathize with your problems. Your positive attitude is a big plus in getting through the issues presented.
