Re: Safety wire fuel pump?

Was the wire looped through both bolt heads and then the ends twisted together?

Yes.

There were some fairly elaborate patterns for things like connecting rod fasteners but for the fuel pump bolts any configuration that prevents loosening is all that is needed. No doubt many old time mechanics didn't rewire, just as they often discarded fuel pump heat shields and the like, with the old "not needed" comment to the owner.
