I am on another computer that does not have my notes so I cannot give a description of the timing. But yes you use number one for the drip timing but you would be best off reading up on the procedure.

I mentioned the sticking plungers and plugged up fuel feed holes as some possible issues.
On an MW type fuel injection pump once you remove the parts need to do the drip timing you can look down inside and rotate the Engine (or the Fuel Injection pump if it is off of the engine) and you can see if the plunger is going up and down. It also allows you to spray penetrating oil down inside of the plunger to try to free it up if it is stuck.
Do one at a time because the Delivery valves are lapped to an individual part down there and only on one side of that part. You would also need new crush washers and I believe an inch pound torque wrench.
