I have heard from informed sources that the pump timing gets later and later
as a result of stretch and wear in the timing chain assembly.
You should scribe a line at a place where the pump and mounting plate
will keep track of the current timing
Loosen and rotate the top of the pump toward the engine 1/8"
tighten one bolt and test
Try moving again 1/16"
test
careful
The bolt against the block requires a 6" long 6 mm allen key on a 3/8 dr socket

Subject: [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.
