Not the hoss I had hoped for

[Towriggity]

Being as there is no spark to run a timing light, how exactly do you time one of these pigs?

[Begle1]

Either a specialty timing transducer, an arcane method with a dial indicator on the injection pump rotor, or by ear.

I'm no expert, but I got about 1/2 a turn or less on my fuel pin before I hit the collar...that's really not much to turn up the power. Of course, 25 PSI is pretty good, so I dunno.

3200 RPM spring might help you.

[Towriggity]

Mine took 3 turns to hit the collar, I'll get a pic of the Pump relative to the head, thanks for all the advice

[DZL_Damon]

3 flats or 3 full, 360* turns? wow, that would be a LOT. Both of my non i/c pumps were about 1/2 turn or so.

Like Someone else said, a built tranny is all fine and dandy, but if they put a new, stock torque converter in, it will not matter how good the tranny is!!! Goerend, DTT, and Suncoast make the good torque converters. Hughes (?) makes an ok one for less money. There is plenty of power to be had, but you should get some gauges as mentioned.

Here's how the pump sits in relation to the head

[Towriggity]

Dzl-Damon, your sig is almost exactly what I have planned for mine, how do you like the setup, how much power, and is it useable? Thanks for the input too here's what I'm working with

Take it easy on the bumper guys, built it outta scrap one weekend, it's not done yet.

[1STGENFARMBOY]

Bumper looks great to me, thats gona be an awsome truck, as my preacher
tells me THATS A MAN TRUCK.

[Towriggity]

In regards to the picture of my pump, some people actually push the pump all the way to the head? Approximately how many degrees advanced is that over stock? Seems like a good way to toast a hg.

what's the reason for a spring pulling on the throttle linkage that the throttle "opens"?

A lighter throttle pedal.

A lighter throttle pedal.

That's all good untell the other spring breaks and your truck takes off on you. Then you could call it a toyota.

[TWorline]

I'm guessin' it would be called alot of other things before toyota!:mrgreen:
