Photo of heat shield

[wdoland]

Does anyone have any photos of how the heat shield is attached above the fuel pump? I bought one on ebay and can't figure out how to install.

what does yours look like?

Here's a photo of the ebay ad

The large slotted part slides behind the nut on the manifold. Loosen nut, slide in, re-torque to 15-20 in. lb.

 

The end that is directly over the fuel pump uses a stud, or post. It threads into the fuel pump, and extends up through the shield, and is held by a wing nut.

 

 

EDIT: the thread is likely 10-32. and the overall length of the post would be about 2 3/4". That is not critical, as the threads can extend up, and not cause a problem. A screw, or all thread with nuts doubled as stop nuts will allow for positioning, could be used in lieu of the factory post. An original post would have had about 1/2" of threads at the pump end (pretty much like the screws that hold the pump together), and about 5/16" of threads on the top.

 

Check the thread size on your pump before screwing anything new into the hole.

 

Edit 2: That pic may not be entirely correct. (not my engine) I believe that the washer in that position is supposed to be coned, and the heat shield would just slide in under the nut, and not under the washer.

I  found this photo by doing a forum search for heat shield

No wonder I couldn't figure out how to install it, I had it upside down!

Thanks for the input and photos.

It was always my  understanding that  a slotted piece when fastened should always have a washer between it and the nut.  Since the one is coned, perhaps there should have been a second, flat washer sandwiching the heat shield.
