Haha, thanks for the advice... And for resurrecting a decent post. haha.

Anyhow I lined it up by the pulley not the pump gear and it worked great. Although the cams were a different story...

I got it running, not realizing that the intake cam was off by a tooth... then like 4 days later the distributor pin fell out and made it slip off to where it wouldn't start... Then I fixed that and it is now running smoothly ;-)

Anyhow I gotta go strip the orange off and make way for the blue ;-)
