Installing a fuel pump in a 57 Dodge D100 - 6 cylinder

[Edward]

Greetings,

Although I have installed chevy fuel pumps before, I am struggling a bit with this one for the Dodge truck.

I wanted to get some advice in case I am approaching this incorrectly.

The rocker arm on the pump is like the lower right hand side of the letter "V." So the arm goes up from the bottom to the right diagonally.

I thought that I should tilt the pump and try to get the arm under the camshaft. Although I am trying to do that, I have not been able to get the pump to sit flush with the engine block just yet.

Am I going about this wrong in terms of the rocker arm being placed under the camshaft?

Let me know please.

Eddie

Never mind; I just got back in from figuring things out Sunday evening. So I got it installed.

Glad to hear you figured it out. I usually roll the cam to the flat side of the lobe. The pump arm doesn't need to be depressed that way making the pump installation easier.
Be its a 57 is this a slant or inline 6?

Inline 6; sorry for not responding back at you in a timelier fashion.

Slant six did not come out in trucks until 1961.
