It could work, but might not be the best setting for the engine health, or best fuel economy, or performance. I consider the dial gauge mandatory when setting the IP timing.

That is a good sign. If the return line remains bubble-free at all times we can rule out air intrusion and move on to other suspect areas.

If it is not letting air in (proved by no bubbles in the IP return line) or leaking fuel out, we can say the seal replacement was a success!

IP needs to be timed with the cold start cable slackened. Slacken the cold start cable NOT by loosening the pinch nut at the end of the cable, but yes by loosening the flathead screw and rotating the U-shaped barrel so the cable end can retract. Here is a diagram:

Between 2 and 3 is the cable. The flathead screw is the one I am talking about. Here is a photo:

Similar to a fuel pressure gauge installed on a gasser, to read fuel pressure from the fuel pump, or fuel rail. Temporarily splice in a "Tee" fitting into the fuel hose between the fuel filter and IP. One of the legs of the Tee goes to a long vacuum line connected to a vacuum gauge positioned where you can see it while driving. Vacuum gauge instead of pressure gauge.

Here is a representative diagram:

NOTE: The sizes listed might not be correct for our application. We want a vacuum gauge instead of pressure gauge.
