Ford 6600 timing

Recently bought a 6600 with a bad motor. Found a bare engine for it, now to the point of installing a used cav injection pump. I can get the tractor engine to top dead center but how do I know where it is on the pump? Beyond the IT manual car as I can see
 
The CAV DPA pumps on Ford applications have no way to check the pump to engine timing, long as the front gear marks are correct pump will be in running range of the scribe line/timing case marks. CAV DPA pumps on Cummins and Perkins use a line/letter inside to line up with the square edge of the snap ring inside, Ford never used this method.
 
You simply line up the dowel on the pump with the slot in the gear and bolt it in place. Line up the line on the pump with the zero on the timing plate and you're good to go.
 
The timing gears cannot come out of alignment as long as the timing cover stays in place. The fact that the marks don't line up is no big deal, again assuming that the gears did not come out of mesh.
 
The timing marks on the gears do not line up every single time that the engine rotates to TDC on the compression stroke. I think someone on here said in a another thread recently that once they are lined up it takes something like 94 rotations of the engine before they line back up again.
 
Ive heard if the gear falls forward too far without the pump bolted to it, it can move. So to check or be sure the gear is correctly in place, I would put the engine to tdc on the compression stroke and then line up the timing marks in the fly where and pump gear install pump and should be good to go?
 
No, the gear cannot come out of alignment as long as the timing cover is on. Line up the dowel on the pump with the slot in the gear, and bolt the pump on and go. You're worrying yourself over nothing.
 
Injector pump sprung a leak as shown in picture, right out of the pump housing before it makes the 90 degree bend. How does one approach this?
