You know...

The one that seals the lift pump to the body of the injection pump. I need a replacement- or is there someone out there who is creative enough to draw a proper pattern in a paint program, or just snail mail a paper one to me?
I removed mine a while back and I want to get it back together. The original gasket is unrecoverable for a pattern source, and the engine is still in the car. I can see the surface on the pump, but since I cannot get a clear view of the mating surface on the injection pump, I am hoping someone out there has a better view...

Thanks

Find something that has a circle the same size as the ID of the cylindrical part of the Lift Pump; something like Pill Bottle Lid.

Use it to draw a circle and cut the circle out. Slide it over the cylindrical part of the Lift Pump. At that point you should be able to get something through the Stud Holes on the Flange to draw the circles on Gasket Material for the Studs and draw outline of the Flange.

I've heard good things about using light paperboard/ cardstock as a gasket material: ex: higher-end cookie boxes.

You can buy gasket paper at the auto parts stores. Then you can make your own, and have plenty for the next paper gasket you need to make.

Just get the Real gasket material and save the Cardboard for emergencies.

I made a Thermostat Housing gasket (Ford gasser) on the Roadside from Carboard; but no choice. When I got back I changed it.
