Default Fuel Pump Rod Question.

It has been a long time since I pulled a cam from a Chevy. Vaguely remember pulling fuel pump and doing something with the pump rod, so I could pull the cam. Does it have to be up, down or pulled completely out of the block, so the cam will clear?
I just want to be sure, before I start walking the cam out.

It has to be quite a ways down or out to clear the cam.

It is best to pull it and replace the gasket since you have to break the seal anyway.
