I usually just pack up the bottom of the fuel pump with regular old grease, not
axle grease but grease gun suspension type grease. Don't know why you didn't
get the normal top fuel pump gasket. Standard fare in overhaul gasket sets and
most fuel pumps I have seen.

The old fuel pump was as I am used to. Solid paper gasket underneath
and packed with axle grease.
The new pump has two gaskets in the box. Both are "wide open" where the
'works' are. If I pack it with grease it'll just flush down into the
push rod hole.
I broke down and looked at the "instructions" and it says to grease the
end of the push rod and "lubricate internal parts of the pump and
block"?
I assume just putting a "healthy amount" of grease in the fuel pump
works while not packing it like a wheel bearing should be OK?
