    It's in the TA catalog, I'd guess in the timing cover/oil pump pages.

    How have you tried to order? I'm sure if you tell them what you're looking for they will take care of you. Booster plate kit, TA1510. $20.95

    Oil Pump gasket shim kit: http://www.taperformance.com/proddetail.asp?prod=TA%5F1704

    Buy some Plastigage to use to get your gear end clearance set up just right- makes all the difference in the world, and makes the job really easy. Don't forget to pack the pump with Vaseline!!

    What I did was take the thickest shim in the kit (the brown one I think, at .010) and install it with the booster plate, and gears with plastigage on the faces. Torque and then take it apart- do the math to get .002 clearance and then pick the right shim gasket to go on top of the black fiber gasket. My hot idle pressure went up about 8 lbs higher after I set it up properly.
