I agree that a dynamic test is better because you can also check to see if the advance mechanism is working.
How do you know what the correct timing setting is because the MB settings published are for the cut off point of the injection pump and not the true timing of the fuel injection?

Actually the specs given for drip timing (24 degrees +or- 1 degree) are for the beginning of delivery. I believe the running point of delivery that the timing light will fire will be as accurate as possible for determining the timing. I have yet to see the instruction sheet that comes with the tool, but if there is any question as to the values used in adjustment, I'm going to give a few pump shops a call and ask them. Heck, I guess I could even give the dealership a shot! They might be using the same method.
