Question Start of delivery -- the drip method

The next upgrade on my 240D is the timing chain. In my usual
obsessive-compulsive way I am trying to understand all the
parameters before I do it as I really don't like surprises in the
middle of a job. What I am trying to get my brain around
at the moment is timing the injection pump.

Reviewing the manual on start of delivery adjustment, I see the "drip
method" described. As usual, the description leaves much to be desired. The
description says to pump up the fuel pressure with the hand pump and wait
until it starts dripping about once per second--which is considered correct.
I have some question to those here who may have done this before:

1. What does the flow look like when the pump is to far advanced?
2. What does the flow look like when the pump is retarded.
3. Any recommendations on doing this for the first time?

I have seen these piezo-electric devices that allows adapting a standard
inductive timing light to a diesel motor. Does anyone have experience with
these? Do they work?

Thanks in advance
