Older Fuel pumps can be a bear to attach and remove when the pump arm has pressure from the eccentric. The trick is to place the eccentric in a position where there is no pressure on the pump arm before installing or removing.
302,351C and 3451W: place the #6 cylinder at TDC (cylinder second from the front left side)

At this position the fuel pump goes in very easy.
