AFC lever removal

[Begle1]

Somebody needs to rig up a little rod or level attached to a servo, solenoid or pull cable.

Have the little rod prevent the AFC lever from moving at all when it's in the "down" position, and then pull the rod up and the AFC has complete freedom of movement.

It'd be the valet mode from hell.

It'd be the valet mode from hell.

better than my p7100 with a nos purge solenoid inline with the boost signal?

with valve closed (no afc) 450 hp 64-71

flip the switch (opens afc line and activates two bottles) 900 hp

oh darn...

Okay im thinking of one of those crazy ideas again

Sounds clear as mud in my head so here it goes

So if you took the fuel pin out and put a cork screw style (fuel pin) in there....

then you could remove the afc cap and bolt a small servo on there so it spins the cork screw style (fuel pin), and have the servo wire to

A. to potentiometer
B. to the TPS,
or C. to a combination of both.

Then you could adjust it ....

0 deg. = least admount of fuel
180 deg. = half fuel
360 deg. = full fuel

This way you could have full control of the afc while driving
with out wrecking it, or pulling it out. That way you dont have to waste all the fuel at the line, only when you want.

Hows That?




And this is an addition.....

If there was sombody smart enough they could make the servo and tps plug in to a chip and you could preset the chip to move the servo(fuel pin)
based on the tps movment.
That way you could make it custom for road driving, or track, or pulling.

I like the way you are thinking CK, but I've been told that even if you were to remove the fuel pin completely and run your truck that way, you would not get as much fuel as if you had removed the afc lever. (yes mines still on)
Right now I have a one inch long bolt in place of my smoke srew that I can use to bottom out the fuel pin if I choose, I just don't know how to
turn it from the cab.

Well, then whats the big deal about making a custom AFC?

[gear jammer 91"]

I'm just a dumb truck driver and haven't been able to figure out, yet how to remotely control my afc. My thought would be a custom pin (dennyt) or something like that, and a way to move it remotly. Maybe a small air compressor under hood, hooked up to the afc diaphram?, you could adjust the air presure in the afc with a switch in the cab.

Why not use a cable? Just drill the screw hole bigger and rethread to a larger size, then put a cable to the cone?

[Begle1]

How much force does that lever push with?

What kind of sealing issues are we going to have with anything put through the case?

[gear jammer 91"]

I don't know about the force on the fuel pin, but as far as puttin a cable actuator through the housing and onto the fuel pin, and sealing it, that shouldn't be a problem since there is no fuel in the top of the pump, and putting the fuel pin on a cable would be doing away with the boost needing to move the pin. So you could just put a plug in were the boost line comes out of the head and were it goes into the pump top, and hook up your cable actuator through the smoke screw hole.

if you pull that afc lever out does that affect your idle at all?

[gear jammer 91"]

My idle didn't change from removing the AFC lever.

[2wd_sled_puller]

Is this the lever that when u take all the tork heads off the top of the pump and pull the top u have that rod with a spring on it. Below that is a gear?? Is that the rod yall are talking about. If so what do we do with that spring junk it also?

[CumminsPride]

No, its in the pump top with the governor spring.

The picture I have for my avatar is the AFC lever out of my pump. That's what you are looking for.
