The 80's and 90's railroad equipment uses detroit from 3-53-6-71.Setting the rack is not near as hard as people make it out. get the right pin and any body who sets the valves on a MB can do a detroit. Make sure your injecters don't leak down first. Then get the plate off of the valve cover and go to detroit and the will sell u the right tool to set the injecter timing with. They sell a kit but you sound like u will only do this on engine. Buy the detroit fiels manual also. About $75 bucks I think. Send a messagae to me and i will make u some copys and send to u if money is tight. I was in the Sea Scouts in Louisville in the 70's.
