Injection Pump Timing

  1. Check that notch in pump flange is in line with notch in front bracket. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC compression stroke. Remove injection pump pulley cover (right half of timing belt cover) to ensure timing marks are aligned. See Figure .
  2. Disconnect injection pipe from pump (using back-up wrench) and remove distributor head screw. Install Timing Gauge (J-29763) and set lift approximately .04" (1 mm) from plunger.
  3. Turn engine until No. 1 cylinder is 45-60° BTDC. Set dial indicator to zero. Turn crankshaft pulley slightly in both directions to check that zero reading does not change.
  4. Turn crankshaft in normal direction of rotation until timing mark (15° BTDC or 13°BTDC for California models) on crankshaft pulley is in line with indicator. See Fig 1 . Dial indicator should show .020" (0.5 mm). If not, loosen pump bolts and rotate pump slightly to obtain proper timing.
