Time to by a book then.
There is a mark on the Injector pump which lines up with a line on the block, the injector pump uses the same drive from the cam as the distributor on a petrol engine. You loosen the 3 bolts that attach the injector pump, the pump is then free to rotate as the bolts sit in slots. Move the pump Clockwise or Anti-clockwise either side of the mark to see which way the engine runs better. try moving it a bit one way , tighten it up, give it a go and so on, lots of trial and error.
All this assumes that you have'nt taken the Pump of in the first place and really buggered the timing up.

To do it properly you need a special tool to get thebacklash out from between the camshaft and the rotaty pump. Timing marks are on flywheel. Dont rely on any around timing chain. Good luck they are a bas---d to time properly. --------BB

I reckon you're better off checking the camshaft timing first - the pump is connected to the camshaft if that is out then you're probably wasting your time (pun intended)
'Ave a look in the book (site linked above) - EP mark on the flywheel - compare with valve drop (zero backlash) - read the book on how to do it!

I do hope you are slackening the pipe unions when buggering about moving the pump. If not expect a nipple to break off any time soon. To get a diesel timed up is not that hard but you do need a timing chain in good condition and the cam set correctly. Try and borrow a timing tool to do the initial setting or read the book and do the 20 degree setting thing. Once set do some fine tuning by moving the pump a millimeter at a time to advance or retard, you will be slackening the unions to do this...... It is also worth checking the injector spray pattern and get hold of a gauge to check injector pressure settings. 130/135 bar is correct, do not rely on so called diesel injector reconditioners to get this right I had a set done that varied from 120 to 165.
