Let's go back to the beginning.

Prior to removing the pump, before you loosened any bolts/nuts/screws, did you loosen the pump shaft-lock screw, remove it's C-notched spacer, and then SNUG the screw back down, thus locking the shaft position in the pump ??

Then, when you got everything put back together, did you loosen the shaft-lock screw, re-insert the C-notched spacer, and snug it back ??

No, umm.... We took the pump out then took the C spacer out snug did the work, put it on bfor installing the pump back into the truck

Congratulations; you have lost pump timing.

Did you scribe the key-way location on the pump-housing before moving anything ??

If so, then you are only half-a-lobe off; if not, then good luck.

Can u xplain the scribe key-way?

did you have the engine at TDC before you pulled the pump?

if so retiming the pump is easy you line up the keyway with the tick/scrib line on the face of the pump which is in about the 5o'clock area

minipete

No we didn't, it was about the 230ish 3 o clock spot I do member that

Ok got a question for yall, got a parts truck, if we lock the pump @ tdc and take it out, and lock my timing gear @ tdc well it work?

As long as you didn't move the IP gear in relation to the cam gear, and you install the pump and the key on the pump goes in the key-way on the gear, then the timing will be close enough to start. As long as the key is in there it will be close enough.
