Someone correct me if I am wrong but it may be possible to install the pump with the lever on the top of the cam if the lobe is in just the right position. I've seen this on a non Chevy engine before. Or simply just another quality part from a distant shore.

You can do that on Ponchos and Fords, but the lever is too short on the Chevy pump.

Its been awhile since highschool auto shop, too long to remember what car it happened to. I think it might have been a friends Ranchero. I do remember the lesson about it and how the oil pan had to come off the get the missing end of the lever. I must have learned the lesson well enough. I've done at least half dozen Poncho pumps over the years and never had to pull the pan. (Yet!!!)

Thanks for the information.

When replacing the pump there is a bolt on the block that will hold the internal shaft in place during the installation

Last time I replaced mine there were some pumps that were really cheap that stated that they were for the non-ethanol fuel
