    Anyone here give a guy an easy way to get the right side bolt off of the fuel pump without having to remove the entire alternator bracket? Also I'm compete newb when it comes to working on old school and so I need to know how the pump arm should fit in relation to the cam. Thanks.

    sure can.... go in from under neath with the car lifted up and on safety stands.... you can take the fuel lines loose and then reach up with a ratchet and short extension and socket and it will come right off.... just do the reverse when going back with the new one.... but before you do get the fuel pump eccentric up top, if I am remembering right.... then grease the arm foot and slide it in low and come up under the eccentric.... the bolts will be just a little difficult to start.... but not that bad.... be sure to clean the gasket surfaces good ... that is a leak point for engine oil......:Brow:
