Is there a good source to find gaskets for oil pumps. I removed mine and will reinstalling the pump in the same condition it was removed. Im looking for the gasket between the pump and block, the gasket between the oil pan and pick up tube, and the compression washer that goes on the end of the pick up tube where it enters the pump.

I thought for sure there is a set but I don't find it.
The pump to block gasket should be available from local parts stores. An oil pan gasket kit will have the pickup tube to pan gasket and should also be available from local stores. And, it never hurts to have a complete gasket set on hand for unexpected repairs.

Not sure where's the best place to get what your looking for, but a note on installing the compression washer. According to a tag I've seen from a pump rebuilder, the compression washers are easily installed incorrectly, leading to a leak or loss of pressure. Ensure it goes in straight & seats properly.. If you have trouble getting those pieces, an outfit that advertises in Hemmings & elsewhere is Gasket City in Hamilton Ontario, at gasketcity com or 888-335-4686, (toll free) Fax 905-679-6075. I received correct Y gaskets including pieces from Best Gasket from them promply.

I have a set, they are in the $100 plus range. I am saving it for a total rebuid and dont really want to start robbing parts out of it. I can get an oil pump rebuild kit that has all the gaskets plus parts I dont need. Napa stocks the oil pump to block gasket for $2.57. I found the one I wanted, the compression washer that goes right in the connection that tightens down when you put the end of the pick up tube in the end of the oil pump. Im calling the pick up tube the one that goes from the screen filter inside the pan, thru the pan, and into the oil pump. As far as the gasket between the side of the oil pan and the nut that tightens the oil pick up tube down to the side of the pan, I can make one of those if I cant find one individually. Paul, is this the compression washer you are talking about? It appears to be just like a washer in a water supply line to a faucet that uses compression fittings, only its bigger, no taper, and has a metal band inside it that tightens down when crimped. I did notice the oil pickup tube was not perfectly round where this washer goes. I trued it up on a anvil and center punch. I hope that was the right way to go. Oh and the compression washer at Dennis Carpenter is $8.00.

I've got an extra block to pump and pickup tube to pan gasket for you. I can just stick them in the mail. On the pump to block gasket there are two different styles based on the shape of passages in the pump. I'll send one of each.

They are in the mail. No charge - this way they'll get used instead of sitting in a box.
