I tried the Easley method (below) on my '85 300D and got way-off, unrepeatable results. Yes, I did it carefully many times. It DOES NOT WORK RIGHT on my IP. The drip method works fine, but I prefer the air version of the drip method; you hook up low pressure air to the IP fuel inlet, blow out the fuel, and put a hose on your drip fitting into a bottle of water or fuel and watch for the bubbles to stop.

"With your helper watching the injection valve closely, turn the crank as slow as possible by hand until the point where your helper first notices fuel "welling up" in the bottom of the injection valve. [It will be beneficial at this point to mark the "bottom" side of the pulley with chalk to inform you, underneath the car, that you are getting near the mark."
