I am setting my injection pump timing and have a question about the cam lobes on cylinder 1. I am following the DIY on this site and the maintenance manual variously. In the DIY article, it states that the cam lobes should be positioned up. I cannot see the lobes in the picture. When I set my balancer to 24 degrees BTDC with the cam lobes up, I cannot pump any fuel through the drip tube. When the lobes are down at 24 degrees BTDC, Fuel squirts through the drip tube. The DIY says to rotate the ip until drips are at 1 per second while using the hand pump. The Maintenance manual says to rotate the engine until the drops come at 1 per second. I have not seen drops yet.

1- Is this 180 degrees out?
2- are both of these methods correct?
3- Does an 83 240d have a mw pump?

The car does start and idle smoothly but with some smoke. I replaced the fuel injectors and heat shields. I can see no fuel leaks It was pinging or knocking under load before I began this work. I have adjusted the valves and replaced all rubber fuel hose and return hose and hand pump and crush washers. My timing chain is keyed to within specs.
