I had the Simms Fuel injector pump rebuilt for my 1967 Ford 3000 diesel. Now I am ready to re-install and am concerned about the timing. The Ford book states "turn engine until intake valve on No 1 cylinder closes, then continue to turn engine slowly until the 19 degree BTDC timing mark on the flywheel is aligned with the arrow at the edge of the timing hole". Is there anyway to know when intake valve on No 1 cylinder closes other than removing valve cover? Is there a simpler way? The gears were marked when the pump was removed, so could it just be re-installed where it came off? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
