Fuel Pump lever travel
After a few years of hiatus I am back putting together my '80. A ton of rewiring to do but I wanted to get it running again first. I took the fuel pump off last year and took it apart to check it over, now I'll be damned if I can't remember how much travel the fuel pump lever moves on the cam lobe. Seems like it is only moving a little bit, maybe 1/4 in.
Now I am scared to start it in case that isn't enough. I looked it up and found the travel to be 10 mm. Doesn't sound like a lot to me. I just completely forgot as I usually just bolt them on. Any help here is appreciated.

I'm not at home, so I can't take a picture of a cam and the fuel pump lobe. But it is much smaller than the valve lobes
Does anyone have a cam to post a picture?
