    Looking for anyone in phx to lend a hand

    Okay, everytime I get to this point I end up ripping my hair out...the last time I sent the truck to a shop that timed it by ear for $120...I gotta learn this. Is there any OB'ers in the phoenix area who can teach me how to time one of these motors....I dont have a meter (but will gladly buy...

    IDI timing advance arm

    fast idle solenoid vs. timing advance

    Okay, for those who have followed my woes with the new IP install, I finally got things sorted out a little better...I was, quite literally totally retarded. Got it to the static marks and she is happier, but seems to want to go a little more advanced...the problem is the fast idle solenoid is...

    New pump, runs like crap

    Okay, I am charting into a bit of unfamiliar territory...I got the IP swapped (and did NOT remove the cover between the pump and the oil fill neck)...got it primed and started, at first it was acting like air in the lines, then setteled into sounding much more like a cummins (rattle vs. its...

    HELP...I broke it

    Well sparky (86 6.9) was getting a new IP and injectors so she could make it through emissions and I snapped the elbow that comes off the IP and heads to the hard return line running down the valley pan. I dont have pics yet, but basically I have the elbow with a small piece still connected...

    A rant related to nothing

    So lately I have been able to pick alot of small hauling jobs (which is good for keeping the bills paid) and I honestly love my 86 cc dually as an all around hauler. Normally I trust NO ONE when it comes to loading and preping my rig before any kind of heavy run (this is from my OTR...

    sometimes I hate her....need to vent

    while 99% of the time I love my 86, the other 1% she quickly earns the nickname "stupid little b!#*%"... Normally she gets a fuel filter with every oil change, but this last time the strap wrench was crushing the filter and I couldnt get it off...so it got to live another day. When I...

    Random thoughts of no real IDI value

    Just wanting to say whats on my mind...and I know that this is probably more suited to the lounge, but seeing as this is the forum everything occurred in I wanted to voice my opinion here. I have been into building automobiles all of my life, and with that came the constant quest for more...

    Leaking Hard line?

    on my 84 (bone stock 6.9) the #2 injector line started leaking at the IP...I have tightened it, pulled, cleaned (both IP and the line) etc all to no avail. I dont have any history on the injectors on this one, so my 2 questions are: 1. what are the odds of a metal line actually leaking...

    Tightening lines with the pump on

    okay...I pulled the IP out and put it together again...but still have a slight leak. looks like it is coming from one of the 3 lines directly above the valley pan and below the IP...is there a trick to tightening the lines down with the pump in place or am I stuck pulling it all apart again...

    Fuel Leaks & IP Removal

    okay, my IP is leaking, pulled the line going from the middle of it to the filter, rubber seal is just fell apart. so here come the questions... 1. Do all of the lines have these rubber seals, and where can they be purchased (they appear signifigantly thicker than just an o-ring)? 2. I...

    Can a bad CDR cause white smoke?

    I get light white smoke during acceleration and while high speed cruising...this mainly occurs between 1200 & 2400 RPM...the CDR is questionable. Could there be any other cause?

    Return T and injector leaks

    okay, so I have traced my fuel leaks down to the return T at the rear left of the motor (the main one that goes to each bank, the IP and the tank), and the high pressure line going to the left rear cyl. The inj line will not screw down all the way, it seems to stop about 1/8" from full...

    Murphys trip from hell

    All I can say is wow….If I didn’t love my IDI so much it would be over……. 850 total miles in 48 hours…and here is the quick lowdown on what all went on. The amazing thing is it came home on its own power, I am stunned I did not have to have it pulled home; and I will say it makes me appreciate...

    T19 is happier cold

    The tranny has been this way since I got it, and being as I am getting ready to tear everything apart, I figured now is a good time to fix this as well....occainsionally she does not want to go into gear...but only when its warm, and only at a stand-still. If it is cold, or I am rolling...
