drip, drip, drip, NOT... IP timing...any ideas?

OK, I timed the valves, installed new injectors, all of which resulted in a LOT of white smoke and difficult starting.

Therefore, attempted to time injector pump to reduce smoke and improve starting.

Checked chain stretch: 2 degrees, not real significant.

Drip method: no matter the position of the pump with throttle wired open and shutoff vacuum disconnected all I get is constant flow of fuel to no flow--no drips in between at all.

Am I missing something here? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Oh, and I am mechanically challenged BTW, and I'm loosing all my hair over this.

Thanks.
