Hi Dave, The pump should pretty much fall in to the block unless the cam is in pump position.
I would check that the new pump is exactly the same as the old one, (operating arm is same length and angled the same)
Secondly make sure the operating arm is locating above the cam as you install it.
If it obviously will not fit I would suggest the wrong pump. It can really be only one of these two things.
Ivan
Thanks Ivan
The arm appears the same length i just cant seem to get the pump to fit tight to the block without really pushing it in?

As I remember the swap is very easy. Undo pipe unions remove bolts holding fuel pump to block, remove gasket and replace (I used some hymolar ) fit new pump to block, tighten bolts. I do remember having to get the old pipework nuts from the old pump, bit of a pain as you have to remove the old olives first.
Put the pipe unions onto the new pump followed by new olives. Make sure the pipe unions are from the correct pipes as I think they are slightly different in size.
Tighten pipework up and you're done. (check for leaks)
I.me sure someone will elaborate or blow this out the water

Thanks for that Do you know if the bolts are easy to get to?
