Set timing to 0˚TDC, then continue to rotate to 14-15˚ATDC (Actual amount is marked on a sticker on the radiator cross member). Line up the timing mark in the window behind the 17mm plug on the side of the injection pump, insert the locking pin tool and tighten down. Insert the IP and secure it.

Forget about timing it if you don't have the locking tool. If you have the locking tool from eBay, use a file to widen the notch a bit and make it deeper. The notch they come with is marginal and can let the timing slip (ask me how I know...)
