so as some of you can recall, i installed a Bull Moose and a set of Mister Mark II injectors.
i also swapped the 7.3 injector hard lines with 6.9 lines.
i rented a meter from Gary, and trouble shot this with several of you in PM.
FIRST OFF...this post is in no way an attack on Conestoga diesel.
IN FACT, the truck does run great.
so here is my issue.
after the install, i had alot of issues with timing it.
as to where, if i turned the pump twards the driverside it would advance it.
if i turned the pump twards the passenger side it would retard it
(lets keep my retardedness out of this for a minute)
Hydro-IDI was over a few days prior and we timed his truck without a hitch(almost)
everyone i talked to is stumped.
Mel pointed out that the lack of fuel pressure from my mechanical lift pump was sub par.
and that io would not get a correct reading @ 2 psi.
i installed a facet pump, and the performance skyrocketed.
issue i thought was solved. and the truck ran awesome.
i timed it just once and it was at 7*,
i was tired of messing with it so i left it alone because the truck ran good.
i had thought i had ruined Garys meter, but everything checked out on his end, and the meter was good.
i employed another member to come over today to time my truck and see where i was at, because i thought my rookieness and Garys meter did not collarless.
(i will let him chime in if he wishes)
i did not let him in on the little problem i previously had because i wanted to see his reaction.
initial timing reveiled 6.5*
we moved the pump twards the passenger side to advance it,
fired the truck up, and registered i think was 1.8???
his reaction was the same as mine. ***??!??
so we said ok, advance it the way the meter says....
we "advanced" it via his meter to 9.9/10.1
less smoke, which is good, but shes sluggish now.
EGT's didnt change much from a flat footed run on the freeway, but coolant temp seemed to be cooler via the dummy gauge.
is there anything i could have done wrong???
i did not pull the IP gear or housing when i replaced the IP.
any thoughts???
fuel pressure is at 7-9 psi
