Leaving the pressure valve in and looking for a rise in the fuel will work, but ONLY if you have a clear piece of tubing to watch the fuel level, and even then you are likely to set it late. Drip tube works better. If you cannot find or fab a drip tube, a piece of clear plastic tubing will work, too -- watch the level as you rotate the engine (pressure vavle out) -- when it stops rising, you are at the start of injection.

A drip tube is available on FastLane, I think.
