should the number 1 cylinder be all the way up, fuel pump has been rebuilt and intime,i do not see any marks on fly wheel. would that be correct?
 
If the front timing cover has NOT been removed then you just bolt the pump back in. The gear on the front of the pump is indexed and will only go on one way. There are some lines on the plate that the pump bolts to and a line on the ear of the pump that is located at about 2 oclock. Set the line on the ear to about 1 to 1 1/2 lines down from zero and you should be good to go.
 
A 68 3000 has inline pump. If pulled of with flywheel on mark. All that have to do is make shure pump marks are lined up.
 
My 3000 is a later model '65 and I am told that initially it was only available in the Inline (Simms???) pump....fuel lines are coming out of the top of the pump from front to rear in a row.

Mine has the CAV distributor pump (fuel lines are at 120 degrees radially around the rear of the pump) and it appears to be a factory installation.

My I&T shop manual states that the CAV pump is correctly timed when the scribe line on the flange (at the 2 o'clock position.....the bolt/flange that is easily visible) is lined up with the 0 scribed into the engine front plate (numerous timing lines with and numerals 6 and 12 going in both directions from the 0) which is right there at the bolt/pump flange location. The scribe line (scribed into the pump flange) is perpendicular to the timing numbers on the engine front plate.

HTH,

If it's a Simms pump you should see the marks on the flywheel unless you got the thing out of time by one crank revolution...
If it's a CAV pump you simply put it back where it was provided you didn't turn the engine or remove the gear while the pump was off...

Actually Rod,
On a CAV pump you could turn the engine over all you wanted and it would still stay in time.
As long as you don't pull the front timing cover so the pump gear skips time you are good to go.
 
Well sir everything but the tractor says that my '65 has one too.....but it doesn't! Tractor only has 3800 hrs on it and CAV and plumbing/paint are obviously OEM???????
