The driver seat bottom has a passenger side cover. The little elastic band is to keep the female end of the seat belt in place when you slide the seat forwards and backwards.
I bought my '90 new, used it as a daily driver for the first 12 years (at least 80 miles per week day) used Fram filters and cheap Chevron conventional oil every 5000 miles. Just checked the compression three weeks ago ~140 psi across all cylinders with 258000 miles.
You can try row52.com they search yards and there is a parts wanted section once you find the vehicle you're interested in. I have never used the service.
If the pimp is running and nothing is coming out before the fuel filter, the hose to the pump could be off or the tube is corroded or the sock is clogged or...
When you pull the pump apply power to it to see if it's really pumping.
It's not showing up in their inventory search. I usually get emails when Comanches hit the Pick N Pull, nothing on this one.
How is the steering column cover removed?
From what I've seen, only the metal handles had the gaskets. I purchased my '90 new, it had plastic handles and no gaskets, as did my other two.
I've pulled metal ones, both black and chrome from the JY and they had gaskets.
