im doing a oil pan replacement on my 95 f150 5.0l, i had to remove the oil pump to get the pan off, is there a gasket where it mounts? anything special i need to do before i close the pan and drop the engine down?

You should have gotten two with your new pump. One where it connects to the block and another for the pickup tube. I just did mine and it came with two. A trick that was suggested on this forum that I used and it really helped, was to use a rubberband to hold the oil pump shaft in place until you got the pump bolted in.
