Re: Fuel Pump Mounting Question

We have had discussions on this topic in the past. The oversize holes in the fuel pump engine mounting flange are to accommodate insulating fiber sleeves. In addition to the sleeves an insulating fiber gasket was used between the pump and the engine, and insulating fiber washers under the cap screws. All sorts of stuff has been used instead of the proper insulating fiber parts. As clipper47 notes there was also a provision for safety wiring the cap screws. Does your car have a heat shield between the manifolds and the fuel pump? This was also part of the original equipment. Good luck.
