    E pump b.s.

    Good stuff Wes. My understanding of what you posted is the advance is bypassing a ton of fuel to operate. Fuel supplied - advance bypass = hp potential. I want a centrifugal operated advance. That guy's second page of his article goes into fuel flow as one of the reasons stock lift pumps...

    E pump b.s.

    Haha We're talking about their mechanical lift pump. 94-98 12V I did find an article that states the efficiency is crap. Which I find interesting and germane to our fuel delivery. http://www.torkteknology.com/technical-article-1-cummins-lift-pump/ Looks like they max output is 36 gph. HP is...

    E pump b.s.

    I was looking at the Cummins mechanical pump. It's a pretty neat design. There's a couple vids on YouTube with it broken down and showing function. Piston instead of diaphragm.

    1984 F350 sending unit on 6.9 (will this work?)

    That's interesting. I always thought the cut off for all Fords was 86/87. Why'd they use different ohm values in 83-84?

    Self Flushing Coolant Line

    Lightly grease the gasket on the coolant filter. It will come of easier. I like to use lemony fresh dishwashing detergent to clean my cooling system. I flush with the garden hose then flush again twice with distilled. @Cubey A filter isn't going to remove any dissolved minerals from the...

    need ‘93 7.3 injector lines

    You'll need to move the timing pickup to the proper cylinder for the van lines. Or replace the van line with the truck line or the truck line with the van line and eliminate the pickup.

    Are Carter m60278 mech pumps still good?

    Amazon solicits reviews and makes it easy to provide them. I've not experienced that from O'Reilley's. So take their reviews with a grain of salt. Junk out of the box might suggest that they got the arm on the wrong side of the fuel pump cam. I've got a parts store pump on my truck. It's...

    Newbie with '84 6.9 IDI with issues

    I thought it would be fun with those Phillips screws in there. Even with the bolts in there I was cursing the AC box. It looks like we have the same mini ratchet.

    Word to the wise.

    You can use the rest of the roll for your grill. Helpful if you have to drive by rice paddies in the evening. HF plastic and metal scissors cut it fine. Both my Honda and infinity collect all the leaves instead of letting them blow away. I think the slots with the @IDIBRONCO mod are a good...

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    It's sold by sea choice. It's a rebrand. If there is a lawsuit, they would be named in it. I have to deal with a half dozen business insurance policies every year. My own policy, I have to have some of my customers added to it in order to work for them. Another policy, the corp provides a...

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    I could be way off base. I thought that was their marine pump. Car gets a fuel leak and you step out and roast some hotdogs. Happens on a boat and it gets real bad, real fast.

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    Could be an insurance thing for the mfg. Cheaper liability insurance if they exclude recreational boats. Fortunately for me I won't find out since they have a California shipping restriction.

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    "...This solid state fuel pump can be used on: refrigeration trucks, marine generator sets, diesel filtration systems...." I do love me some closed course refrigeration truck races. If you're travelling around and some backyard mechanic in Texas replaces your fuel pump and uses that one, who is...

    Surprise under valve cover

    That bolt shouldn't be difficult to pull out with the head broken off. All of the tension is off the threads. Aren't those indents what hold the ball stud in the tube? It's a copper "wash" on the end. Not brass ends

    Shut off fuel for a compression test

    This is the adapter I used on my truck. Tight fit all around but I was able to test all 8 cylinders. https://www.tooldiscounter.com/product/star-products-diesel-adapter-statu-15-1a

    Newbie with '84 6.9 IDI with issues

    You don't need olives to repair the fuel return lines. The olives are on the low pressure metal fuel lines. In your first pic, at the rear of the injection pump, in that brass fitting, there is a 5/16” olive on that line where it connects to the injection pump and also where that line connects...

    Charging issue/voltage regulator

    I dug around for you a little. This is a Leece Neville alternator. Which means there is a lot of info available on it. But it's a little complicated if electricity isn't fun for you. The white plastic screw is a cover plate that hides the regulator adjusting pot. As part of the diagnosis steps...

    Charging issue/voltage regulator

    That rectangular box on the back is the voltage regulator. It's considered internally regulated. You get one at the parts store. I'd pull the whole alternator, take it to a rebuilder and ask them to test it. My concern would be blown diodes in the alternator. Sorry I don't have more info for...

    Charging issue/voltage regulator

    I asked my friend Google. That there is a charge light relay for an ambulance package. Probably an 165 amp alternator. I'm going to guess that pretty hole in it is a symptom and not a cause. Is this what your alternator looks like?

    Ford up to 1986 - 73-10 Ohms Ford 1987 & up - 16-158 Ohms Open circuit on an 87+ will peg the gauge. Open circuit on 86- will show empty. The gauge moves when you turn the key on so you have power to it. Two wire plug at the sending unit. There should be some voltage on the colored wire for...
