Since you guys were discussing injection timing for the 300D, I have a couple of questions since I need to perform this task for the first time.

1) The Haynes manual refers to a timing of 24 degrees Before TDC for the turbocharged 300D. However, I see several posts of timing AFTER top dead center. Is the Haynes manual wrong?

2) Is is accurate enough to time the engine using the drip tube and the "1 drop per second" calibration spec? Or is this task better left to a shop with higher precision equipment?

Thanks for your help.
