Adjusting IP timing...

Thanks for your replys - sounds like adjusting IP timing will be my next project. I just sent a couple of PMs to the folks in the Tool Rental probram - hopefully I'll get a response from one of them or I can use the procedure from OMEGAMAN - looks like no special tools are required.

One question - I've been sizing up the IP pump trying to find all the screws that I'll need to loosen (supposedly 4 screws) - I only see two of them and the one between the IP and the engine looks like it will be a bear to get to...

Anybody have a diagram on where the screws are located on the IP so I have a better idea!? I'm sweating any work related to Timing and/or IP...
