Result ! Checked the engine timing and its spot on, re checked the skew gear to the A mark on the fuel pump timing and I was still out, skew gear out and round a tooth and its 90 deg to the pump, hmm after some head scratching I realised that the skew gear is held in with the grub screw behind the oil filter housing and that I hadn’t aligned it with the hold in the skew gear that lifts it up enough to alter the pump timing. Jesus just read that back to myself and it kinda make sense ! Anyway long story short after 6hrs of fetteling she’s a runner ! No smoke and pulls like a train even in 4th!
How did you manage to sort the fuel pump timing if you don't mind me asking
 
The time had come to say goodbye to this exceptional vehicle to fund my next project
