so, lacking a bently at the moment (all those t1 manuals arent worth a hill of beans right now!) i want to do a tuneup but i cant for the life of me find any timing marks on the fan/pulley, or anywhere else for that matter. also can i tune this statically, or do i need a timing strobe? also is there a way to see what the spray pattern of my injectors? i dont know, but imagine they are somewhat clogged. has anyone made a test rig of a fuel pump hooked directly to an injector? im thinking of putting something like this together and running some injector cleaner through each one for a couple hours. is this inadvisable? is the injector cleaner you get at the gas station (stp, gunk, et cetera) snake oil, or does it really work? thanx nick
