went to put the oil pump on and the kevco bracket that goes on #3 main cap sets off of it about 5/8", how did you guys using this set up bolt it in? pics would really be helpful,,,,thanks, Mike
 
Are you saying it's off center or just not down on the main cap bolt/stud? If it's just not down all the way tighten the pickup in the pump a little more should bring it down. If it's off center you may have to do some tweaking. Mine was real close (within 1/16") when I had it tight in the pump. I tweaked it just a little and got it on.
 
Mine was off about the same as yours. Just put a little muscle to it and make it line up. I also installed a windage tray bolt (stud) in the main cap to hold it in place.
 
upon closer inspection, the arp main bolt was hitting the oil pump body,so,,,,,,,,,,,a little off the bolt head and a little clearancing on the pump itself and everything went together relatively easy. thanks guys
