Ok, so I've been searching high and low, and working for 4 days on this car, and can't get it right.
'82 300SD, manual, electric fuel pump

Took the IP out, and I can't get the timing right at all.

At this point the 1st delivery valve has fuel in it from 80* BTDC to the end of the first blank space on rotation. Stops until 60* BTDC at the bottom of the stroke, continues to spit fuel until somewhere without marks.

What could I have done to get my timing so far off?
How do I fix it?

Yes the IP was set at it's stock 24* mark, engine was at 24* at the top of the stroke. Is there some magic item that I'm missing that sets the IP timing?
