Thanks, "lightnin". Problem is, there is no set place that the clamp has to fit; can just slide it up to the distributor, or could also tighten it up anywhere on the turned part of the shaft below the distributor. Would seem better if was a shoulder, or groove, so clamp had to be a certain location vertically, and thefore the pump tang seated properly. As you know, the clamp then fits to the bracket that is held down to the block by the bolt thru the "octane" timing adjusting slot. Just seems like shaft could work its way up and out of the pump. On aligning the pump slot, I guess I'll just have to kepp turning it a little with my long screwdriver until it hits when it twists down past the cam gear. Thanks again, if any more ideas.
