You need three things:

a) "Bosch Fuel Injection & Engine Management", Charles Probst, published
   by Robert Bentley ( http://www.rb.com ) ISBN 0-8376-0300-5

b) A 'Star Hoffman Fuel Injection Tester', JC Whitney stock code
   12NR3617U.

c) A stock of the crush washers used on your particular metering head.
   (Probably N 013 807 6)
