Ok. I finally got my DTI timing unit out and working and adjusted the timing to @ 9.5
It was @ 12 before.
I'm still getting smoke but it's different now. And the engine still sounds "clacky" to me. But maybe not as bad? I don't really know what "normal" sound is but it seemed less clacky with new injectors and the old pump. And for a few hours with the new pump.
There's a bit of gray smoke at idle now. Not bad at all though.
I've got a steep, low speed, uphill road leaving my house. I left a heavy gray cloud of smoke on the way up. I was on the throttle pretty hard. I couldn't get it to turn black like when the timing was at 12. Once on the flat road I wound it out pretty good. It seemed to clear up a bit after that but the sun was also going down so maybe I just couldn't see it as well?
I guess I'll drive it some more in better daylight for a better idea.
But if this smoke under moderate-heavy throttle continues then is my next step to turn the fuel down in the pump?
