IP install questions

I am putting a IP from another truck onto mine. I'm wondering if I need to do anything with timing the pump? Or do I just make sure the #1 cylinder is on TDC and line the keyway up and line up the marks? (I am going to going to advance it a little bit)

Line up your pump key in the slot in the gear. If you have a dial indicator, you can find your true TDC and do it right. If not, just find a good place and try it there. If you dont like it, move it.

If I understand right, the pump drive-shaft key is pointing straight DOWN when the engine is oriented #1-TDC.

Those smarter than me will know for sure.
