I have found that Tuffy Oil Change, in Wesley Chapel, FL can get those gaskets. He should be listed in the phone book.
Just a suggestion.

Rich, Do you still have any of your solonoid lock nut spanner tools for sale? If so, how could I purchase?

Good news for you> Wes Ingram makes excellent tool. These were not available at the time I needed one.
I have none.
Good luck.

I have a 74 gtv. It does not want to start with the electrical wire connected to the FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE. With wire removed it starts fine. Is the engine running rich with wire disconnected. What should I do?

It's probably a shorted microswitch. First check that the two wires going to the microswitch on the engine side of the pump aren't twisted together and shorting out.

You can run it with the wire disconnected from the Fuel Cutoff Solenoid. If the engine is tuned correctly, you won't get burbling or backfiring. It will have no affect on your running mixture.

Next time you have the pump off the engine, replace the microswitch.

Much appreciated for your response. I will check the wires out.
