Fairly easy job when using factory timing! Remove the pump and reseal the tappet cover. Make sure you clean the pump shaft and gear well. You'll need a pump gear puller.

I like what you done to your el camino have you got any pictures of your swap . I have a 1989 Dakota work truck that I would like to put a 3.9 cummins into if I can find one at a decent price there's a guy up here that put on in a full size dodge to pull fifth wheel it's putting out over 300 hp looks small under hood . Nice el camino you must get lots of looks and questions

Just make sure you blow through the draft tube when you take the cover off. It will eliminate the possibility of crankcase pressure blowing the gasket. Forgot to mention you'll need to use some type of sealer to secure that gasket to the cover, high tack, rightstuff, rtv. Use it sparingly to avoid "squish out"
