If you have the M pump that uses the locking pin, reset the engine to 15˚ ATDC (make sure you're on the compression stroke!!!), pull the IP and shift it over a couple splines so it's lined up where it should be.

With the IP pre-timed, it will still be in-time with the engine at any position you insert it in the hole. The goal is to get it close to where the hard lines are when you reinsert it.
