Hi everyone. It's been forever, but owning a house has finally calmed down. Picked up a 98 mustang GT in the meantime and sort of modded that out quite a bit...

Anyways, finally got the diesel started. As mentioned previously, replaced all of the injection system and upgraded to electric fuel pump.
I have the timing advanced slighty from the visible mark on the gear cover. I haven't warmed the engine up yet but when cold it has a clack to it (like a power stroke) and when I get on it, it blows black smoke and sounds like it's backfiring?
Going to retard the timing a bit and see how it sounds. I know it's not really possible to time it well when it's cold, but she starts instantly everytime.
Here's a video of it running:

Any tips on where I should set the timing? I don't have any timing equipment. Thanks
