After I got the car back together and took it for a test drive, I noticed that the rubber insulator pad that goes onto the bottom of the fuel pump between the pump and the bracket was still sitting on the work bench. My helm manual calls it a sound insulator, so I'm guessing that it's just there to stop it from rattling. Did I goof up big time or is it just there to stop noise? There's no risk of spark or anything is there?

Hate it when that happens......If you did not go up in smoke the second you turned the key to start I would say that you will most likely live. Next time you have a few (8 hours) to kill, and you want to practice a few pro wrestling moves you may want to reinstall that dohickey.....

bought a wrecked(head on,bad)'84 Z28 rebuilt it in'92 parked it in
'93 and ordered a '93 Z28. Got tired of the 4th gen in '99 and sold it and begin swapping in '85 TPI converted to speed density. engine is all stock except for comp cam. body has '86 IROC nose peice,ground fx and IROC wheels/goodyear 245/50's. IMO this car looks and feels more "racey" than my '93 did. and I love driving it. BTW fuel injection is great I'll never go back to carbs.
