Fuel pump is correct. The tubes/washer inserts are very important to keep the pump from moving around, and should be made from a plastic/composite material. (noise transmission).

Try the usual Max Merritt or Kanters.
I like Max Merrits web site a little better...

Max has some tubes but if for a different pump or you can't find all the real things, McMaster-Carr has small 6x6 high temp Garolite sheets in many thicknesses and various diameter tubes or solid rods and some phenolic washers for the do it yourself approach. Just need to find someone who can provide a good thickness measurement to work from.

Thanks for info. I have called around for bushings and gasket. I was told there is no insulating block for fuel pump (like with the carburator), just a thin gasket, is that right?
If anyone has pics of the fuel pump mounting stuff, I would love to see it.

Appreciate the help!

I may be wrong, but I think the fuel pump insulator block, sleeves, and washers were used in later model Packards. Maybe, starting with the 288s. I don't think they were ever used on the sixes. The fuel pump heat shield was used before this, but not certain when it was first installed or on which models. Don't recall seeing one on a six.
