There is not much electronics in a car, old fashion engine with old fashion mechanical management, that I kind of like, less to worry.

Ok, so it's a Lucas CAV ( rotary ) pump, similiar to the one used on the early Cummins 5.9. It may be a pain in the butt to get to the screws, but there is gold in changing the settings. Add more timing but cut the fuel back. If you are not comfortable doing it, you are in the best place to do diesel tuning. Between the Germans and the Finnish, there has to be someone that can optimize the torque curve for lower rpm operation.
