They pretty much don't exist any more. There is another method.
Set #1 cylinder to TDC compression, set the slot in the oil pump gear so that it is roughly parallel to the crankshaft, and the narrow side of the offset in the slot is to the outside.

parallel is when I started and when i install it, it twists so it starts "-" and it ends with it "l" like that well more like "/" but the rotor is in between 1 and 2 cylinders. Is that right???

No, it has to end up parallel, so start it one tooth or so back, and when the pump comes up, you should be able to get it about parallel.
