As other's mentioned, there have been injection-pulse adapters available for years. I've got a pulse tach and timing light for diesels, but never had much use or need for it. As far as what other's mentioned about the timing marks - well that's only partially true. ALL the marks do is provide you with a way of checking the "initial" or "static" timing, not the advance timing that is very important on a running engine. Checking injection advance varies with the make of pump, and if it's a distributor pump (like CAV, Stanadyne-Roosamaster, Diesel Kiki, American Bosch, etc. ) or an in-line like some older CAVs, Simms, Bosch, Cat., etc. Some of the pumps come with gauges or viewing windows that allow checking and adjusting timing advance with the engine running. Stanadyne, for example, uses a plastic degreed window for the DB pumps.
