I'm probably just failing at my search abilities, but can anyone give me any info or suggestions on a full injection pump swap?

I have a reman'd arctic pump to go into the truck, and I just want to make sure I don't make this harder than it needs to be.

I remember reading that I need to make sure not to lose the timing, so I'm assuming there is an easy way to lose it.

 

First off, what year model truck do you have and is it turbo?

 

Sorry, none of the fords I work on have a turbo and I didn't even think about it for the IDIs.

This one is a 1990 and no turbo, aftermarket or otherwise.

I've hit a bit of a snag. Where the TPS attaches to the side of the pump on my original pump it's just a round extension, the new one has a rod sticking through it. The adapter for the TPS won't go over it.

It rod is going through a hole that the original pump has, just without that part there. One of the hex screws was going through the hole and there is another inline.

Am I supposed to pull the rod out and put it back through the holes in line, pull it out and use the hex screws, grind a groove into the tps adapter, or ?

It wouldn't come out one direction, but I tried the other one last time before giving up and it popped out like butter...

All pumps are in, it bled really easy.
