Yeah, it's an ugly newer pump.

She was losing oil out of just about every seal when I got her, so I replaced all the bolt-on bits with different, hopefully un-bent parts and new rubber seals and gaskets. There have been many warnings about bent up fuel pump flanges, and I didn't want to take a chance on it, so I installed the new (from volvo) mechanical fuel pump.

It's not beautiful, like a glass dome pump, but it gets the job done (likely a little too well).

Anyway, the answer to your question, is Yes, I do have the bakelite spacer in there. If I didn't, I'd probably have a broken pump arm sitting in my oilpan or worse wedged in between my cam and block... :(
