So when I picked up a Felpro oil pan gasket, there was the washer I had been looking for. Comes with an oil pan gasket set. Also, has a brass wahser that fits either the oil drain plug OR the inside threaded fitting where the pick up tube passes between the side of the oil pan.  Also included is a small flat washer about 3/16" that is the same diameter as the seal that fits on the end of the pick up tube where it connects to the oil pump. No idea what that one is for.......any ideas? Any suggestions on the brass washer that fits both the drain plug bolt and the fitting on the inside of the oil pan where the pickup tube exits the oil pan?

The newer ones don't have the metal band and it works with either pump.

For anyone following this thread, the hard part of the oil pump gasket to find is the compression washer that fits into the end of the oil pump where the pick up tube comes from the oil pan to connect with the oil pump. The stock compression washer (stock I assume), is quite thick and has a metal band inside it that lets the metal band compress at the same rate as the washer when the compression nut is cranked down. I checked a set of gaskets I got from John Mummert (on hold for another Y block rebuild pending). That kit has a washer that fits (assuming its the correct washer), but it does not have the metal band in the center and both ends have a little bevel on them. Perhaps is for something else, but nothing else in the kit comes close to this size so I think its the correct one.

John Carpenter has one for $8.00 but its $9.00 shipping. In addition, its not listed by name as the correct part, but its identical to the stock compression washer I removed from my oil pump. I have a spur gear pump, not the rotar gear. Not sure if that would make any difference in the compression washer or not. Only other place I have found to buy this washer is a complete rebuild kit ($37) but I have not determined if thats a rotar or spur gear pump.

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

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.
