Installed my cam in the driveway. The oil pump was my biggest issue. Came off ok. Install with the o-ring on to the pickup tube was tight and the angle would not line up. Thought for sure I would cut/damage the o-ring. Even used the aftetmarket girdle to help with the pickup tube. It was a struggle. I used feeler gauges to align the pump, primed it by removing the plug on the driver's side block. When starting, held the gas pedal to the floor. This is a flood condition that will allow the engine to crank and build oil pressure, without starting.
