Injection Pump Timing
Pump-to-engine timing is extremely critical. Pump timing that is
off by only a few crankshaft degrees will cause:
1. Poor performance - starting and power
2. Excessive smoke and emissions
3. Poor fuel economy
Engine pump timing begins with the timing of the injection
pump drive gear to the camshaft gear.
The first step is the location of TDC for Cylinder Number 1.
Then, depending on the engine configuration, a letter on the
fuel pump gear is aligned with the mark on the camshaft gear.
The Dodge 5.9 Liter Diesel Engine uses timing letter "E".
