A little different slant at timing pump,very accurate. Attach a 2ft.long hose with banjo fitting at inj.pump fuel inlet,attach second hose to #1 cyl. inj.pump outlet by using part of( extra ) steel line,insert the free end into a small clear container,place container higher than pump,where can be easily seen, fill with water. .Following pump timing procedures. Just blow through fuel inlet hose ,watch bubbles exiting outlet hose. When bubbles just stop or slow to one every (3) sec. pump timed. Nice thing about this method,Both hands are free,easy to see. Don"t worry, have used this method many times,compared to drip method ..

If you have an '85 (and probably other years- ?), you have the port for the riv tool. they can be expensive but if you know someone nearby with one, try to borrow it.
Good luck. I still haven't figured out the drip method.

This does seem a bit easier to me. Quick question, or clearification. I'm assuming you still pull the innner part of the delivery valve out of #1 to use this meathod? It seems you would have to, but I would like to make sure I'm on the same page. Thanks!

Yes, same method as drip. Note , can back up engine when timing,be sure to back up min. 30 deg.,This is ok"ed by Mbz. I use p/s pulley nut to rotate engine,Just push down on belt if pulley slips or tighten loose belt. Using bubble method allows single person to time pump,very easy seen,remember timing is set rotating engine to just fuel stop. Must have vac.pull disconnected,and throttle at full. (best with engine Off) lol;

^^^ What he said. I'm going to try this method on my brothers car and see what it shows. Hopefully, Wed afternoon. I have to replace the lift pump gasket anyways, to I'll be in the right area at least! LOL

Got the rebuilt injectors put in and used Hercules' method of timing the pump. WAAAY easier! I set it to 26 BTDC and it is running like a champ again. I would highly recommend this method for setting timing.
