The below is to find some more infomation on your situation.
On the side of your Fuel Injection Pump do you have the area circled in yellow with the 17mm Plug with the X on it?
If so you can remove that plug (Oil is going to come out when the plug is removed). You rotate the Engine clockwise past TDC on the compression stroke and stop at 15 degrees after top dead center.
When you do that when you look into that port you should see a blde like projection lined up across the middle of the port. If that is what you seen then your Fuel Injection Pump is at least close to being timed.
Note that the port and blade inside are used in another type of tming method then the drip diming.
If you don't have that Port with the 17mm Plug (17mm the size of the wrench you need to remove the Plug) you likely have an older than 1984 Fuel Injection Pump.
