I'm changing the mechanical fuel pump on my 73 charger. Would it be easier to remove the alternator to get to the pump or go in from the bottom? What's the easiest way to deal with the pushrod? Any other good advice appreciated.

You can undo the lower alt strap and swing the alt up and out of the way on it's main pivot bolt, as far as the rod, just swab it with some heavy grease to hold it up in postion
