Angry Easy Injection Timeing?

So my injection pump got rotated, and I can't get it set up right, does anyone know a way to easily set it, or how to make a regular timing gun work without a 300$ adapter?

There should be a line on the pump and the housing, maybe just a scratch. If you line those up it should at least start up and you'd be able to adjust from there.
There is no cheap way to make a regular timing gun work. Diesels are different than gas engines and have different timing equipment.

if I remember right, you have to unplug the timing connector on the IP pump and set rpm to 2000. That could be with the timing probe tho..
