more fuel pump ?s

Thanks for everything guys I still didn't get the rates on the fuel pump though. The fuel was turned about half a flat i think(I put the allen wrench in facing up towards the sky and turned it clockwise to face the radiator) So what about the timing I haven't touched it though so it shouldn't be retarted at all should it? Other than that I think that ya'll have answered all of my questions. If I have anything else I'll holler. This place is so much more informative than the blank stares i get from mechanics when I say idi diesel. Again its a 91 idi non turbo.

Turning the fuel screw 90 degrees is 1.5 flats.
One flat is 60 degrees.

On a NA engine you should be bellowing black smoke every time you hit the throttle.

Thanks man so what kind of problems would i have if i am not spitting smoke. timing, fuel, Or will that glass pack wear the smoke out before it hits the end of the exhaust. My intake is stock besides a soup bowl cutout and my exhaust is just 3'' all the way back into a busted glass pack with a 4 in tip. I see some black driving hard but clear driving normal.
