CP4 no keyway?

[6.7 Powerstroker]

I just got delivered a modified cp4 and noticed there's no keyway for the gear. Does any one know why this has no keyway for the gear and if that's normal? There's literally no keyway and no mark where one was. How would I line up the gear on this?

First thing, call the place you bought it from and ask. I would assume the dimple on the end of the shaft should line up with the keyway. It will run in any position out of time, but will have gear chatter at idle. Best thing to do is my first suggestion.

Guy I got it from said he bought it from Ind Injection and said that's how it came. It is brand new and was still sealed in the bag. I was just wondering if anyone has seen this. Or know how I'd keep the gear timed?

Hard to see in the photos but is that a tapered shaft? If so, no keyway needed?

It does have a taper but the one's I saw on ebay also have the slight taper and the keyway. You can see it slightly in pic 4th. So would I press the gear on the shaft and have the mark on the shaft line up with the gears keyway slot? Is this common for the shaft to be tapered vs. the keyway?

The factory pump is tapered and has a timing pin. Like I said in my previous post the mark on the end of the shaft probably lines up with the keyway in the gear, the taper will hold all of the load.

Could I or should I drill the shaft and install the keyway?

Absolutely not
