[Peugeot-L] 81 505s TD Injector pump timing?

Hi group.
Yesterday I drove our Peugeot again which I do every now and then. Although, the engine smokes much less than it did when we first began using it this Spring, it does still smoke a bit black under load. Mr Courtier was kind enough to send me a glow plug symptom chart. In this chart and in the book for my other diesel vehicle it says the fuel injector pump timing may be off. I have adjusted the valves and can do this again, but I sure would like to try timing the injector pump to better performance. In the Isuzu book it shows a way to move the IP back or forth to advance or retard the point at which the pump does its thing. Also people with Mercedes Benz diesels seem to have an altitude compensator. This Peugeot lives at 7000feet. Really the car runs exceptionally well, albeit under powered and smokey. I have heard of others getting better fuel mileage and performance. I wouldn't want to miss out on bettering the ride for my wife who drives this car daily.
