7.3 idi injector pump question

Im swapping oit my leaky injector pump on my 1990 that was makin the truck not start(and was leakin fuel whenit did run last year down the motor). But the 2 spare working ones a freind gave me i noticed that the timing hear is hard to spin on one and the one i took off the motor(wanted to fix a timing cover leak at same time) spins easily.
Does that mean anything or not?

What are you talking about?
you adjust timing by moving the whole pump in the cover.

This gear here. My old one is very hard to turn by hand. But the replacement spins freely by hand

no idea, i have never removed that gear unless i was doing a total engine rebuild.
by removing the top cover and gear, you will have align the timing marks on all three gears, otherwise it will never run.
