It helps to turn the engine over to where the cam shaft lobe is not pushing down on the fuel pump push rod so you don't have to fight the spring inside the pump to make the bolt holes line up. If memory serves correctly, putting number one cylinder in the firing position will make that happen. Use a piece of stiff wire or a narrow screwdriver to hold the pushrod up while you maneuver the pump into the hole.
