Set the engine to top fead center on the number 1 compression stroke. Either take off the distributor cap. Bump the engine till the distributor rotor is pointing at the number one spark plug wire position.
This puts the fuel pump eccentric at the most retracted position.
To put the pump in. Disconnect the battery. Pull the engine oil dipstick and come straight down from the top thru the oval opening. Wiggle it to get it in front of the push rod.
Push the fuel pump lever against the pushod and drop the lever down in front of the pushrod. Pull the dipstick out of the opening.
This procedure has the dipstick right behind the alternator. You dont want sparks.
Put the two bolts in loosely. So the pump can wobble. Start the inverted flare fitting to the carb by hand.
Now tighten the pump bolts. Then tighten the fuel line.
It took me longer to type it than it does to do it.
Before you tell me there is an easier way. Try it.
