Default mellings 296 oil pump owners come in

I am gettingto install my new oil pump along with my new heads / cam setup, but i am unsure of something. My oil pump came with 2 springs and two
o rings, 1 blue/ 1 red spring, and 1 blue oring soft and 1 black o ring harder. The red spring is installed already from the factory, but i am unsure of what combination is the correct one. Also did you have to center the pump, or did you just throw it on? Can anybody help?

Personally, I would replace the red spring with the blue spring to bring the oil pressure back down to stock.
