So I got a kit for my 1963 rambler classic s Carter fuel pump, and I can't get the the pin holding the rocker arm out. I really don't wanna break anything. Thanks in advance!

Another member had the same problem a few weeks ago.  The pin should be tapered so it will only come out in one direction according to the instructions with the kit.  I suggested trying to hit it out the other way.  That pin's been there a long time.  Spray it with some PB Blaster and let it sit awhile.  Then with the right size drift try driving it out in either direction.  It should loosen up.
