85 fuel pump assembly question
I'm replacing my fuel pump and already have the old one out.Now I can't find the black rubber that fit over the top of the pump.Chevy says that part no longer available.Do I need that specific piece or can I put somrthing else in its place.It seems it was to stop the pump from moving around against the pickup tube? :confused:

Don't know for sure, but I suspect you do. I've got one from my old pump, so if you can't find a replacement, let me know, and I'll shoot it off in the mail to you...... :seeya

Hi there,
WElcoem to the fourm by the way.. Lots of good info can be found here.. :cheers:
Now fo ryour pupm issue. My friend replaced his fuel pump with a GM repalcement adn that came with the black rubber piece yoau re talking about.. They still make those. I replaced mine last year (I have an '85 also) and it came with that... I'd check the place you got it from as they are BS-ing you about GM not making it anymore..
