Hi all
I did a search and couldnt find the awnser so here it is.
My fuel pump gasket is the source of my oil leak. I am going to replace the gasket tonight. I have never done this before. Is there anything I need to be aware of. It looks simple enough. But looks can be decieving.

Thanks

Make sure you get all traces of the old gasket off both the fuel pump and block surfaces, and make sure you get the fuel pump arm riding on top of the camshaft, not hooked under it. If you find the pump springs away from the block as you unbolt it, rotate the engine by hand or with quick bumps of the starter until the cam lobe moves inward, or it'll be impossible to install the pump correctly.

Dan is right . Also helps to use fuel line wrenches instead of open end.
