In my case for two reasons I'm sure that I was not off 180 degrees. First, the cam mark was aligned and the cam lobes for number one were in the compression stroke position.

Larry, I am not talking about the valve timing here, but the IP timing.
When I put the cam and crank timing spot on (as you did)--then pulled my IP, the pump was 180 degrees off! I turned the pumps timing mark around to where it was supposed to be and reinstalled, and Voila!

I don't know how the IP got turned around, but there you are...
