How do you set the injector pump timing on a Ford 8000 tractor?

Answer 1

Take your inspection cover off of your bell housing on the right hand side there will be a little screw IF it is still there unscrew it. Then take off your injection pump timing cover on the face plate. Then turn the motor over by hand until you see a series of numbers on the fly wheel on the inspection cover when you have done this turn it to 23 degrees. Then you should see a hash mark on the timing gear on the injector pump line the hash mark up with the mark on the injection pump by loosening the three bolts that are 1/2 inch. Then take a 3/4 inch socket and turn the bold in the middle til the hash marks line up then tighten the three 1\2 inch bolts down and you should be timed up. IMPORTANT if they do not line up keep turning the motor till the the hash marks are close since the injection pump turns only 3 times slower then the motor does.
