looks like a spark plug or wiring boot.

For plug wires? Try "terminal" and "boot"

Need them to cover 5/16" nuts on an electric fuel pump, tank sending unit etc.

that's always the main problem, trying to figure out what the name of the part is on order to search a source for them.

I too thought spark plug boot until the alternator word came up, and I went OH YA.

Still having a problem locating the small ones to cover for example 5/16" nuts.  Would like to cover the terminals on the electric fuel pumps and sending unit.

FYI:  Needed a return line for the fuel injection so I just tapped into the sending uniting....would like a rubber insulator on the sending unit bolt.

Ed you might try Mendelsons in Dayton, Oh. They had a listing for some 90° insulating boots on E-bay. They may have a variety of different sizes.
