replacing injection pump:how do you know where to put pulley

[chrissev]

OK so I'm looking at the bentley and it is sketchy on this.  If I take the pulley off the old pump, then put the new pump in place and then put the pulley on the new pump, how do I know where the shaft is as far as which cylinder is having fuel injected into it?  I know I can find TDC with a dial gauge but I won't know which cylinder I am on.  Perhaps the pulley only goes on one way?  Or is there some way to tell which cylinder you are firing on?  I wish bentley would be more specific with this.

Unless this is a late model 1.9TD, the pulley has a key in it and it will only fit one way. The timing pin then locks the pump in the proper position as you install the belt.

If it is a late model 1.9TD and you removed the pulley hub, you are hosed.  It is possible to get the hub back on in the proper orientation, but it's tricky, hard to explain and beyond the scope of this post.

nope, not a late model 1.9TD.  It's a relatively early 1.6TD (built in August 1987, sold for 1988 model year).  It is a full TD with the boost enrichment on the pump (not an ECO).  I haven't taken the pulley off yet.  Just preparing to do the job of replacing the injection pump with a rebuilt one.  Will probably do this in March or April depending on the weather (too cold right now).
