Forget about setting ignition timing by a factory manual. I recommend setting the timing by the seat of your pants method. See what feels the best.
Hi Terry, seat of the pants method eh? That suits me, is it easy to do? I have a Haynes manual for the Pug 405 which talks about special tools and dial gauges and is 'a job best left to a diesel technician'. The car has a Bosch injection pump which sits in an easy to get to location, mounted on the front of the block.

I'm used to tinkering with carburetors and distributors, diesel lumps are new to me. Years ago I had a mini and I could set the ignition by trial & error rotation of the dissy, results were just as good as any strobe light.
