Does that era of Packard use the insulator sleeves and washers for the pump’s attaching bolts? If not, maybe the holes can be opened up and some inserted.

They do use the bushings and I believe mine has them, but the nuts and washers are steel on my car. Putting some hard fiber or Delrin washers under the nuts might help further reduce heat transfer.
Some fuel pumps had a rubber insert around the lever pivot to keep crankcase oil out of the pump body. I don't know if mine has one or not, or if it is still in place.

The later cars such as my 1951 had flat fiber washers under the flat washers and the bolt heads had holes and were wired to keep them in place.
