    Question on Timing

    Haha I know what you mean! I got all the glow plugs in, pretty uneventful. A few different brands but they all looked healthy. I’ve been checking on other things too, fairly certain I need to replace valve cover gaskets. Also those fuel return lines have a braided cover that looks oil soaked...

    Question on Timing

    Good deal. Nothing wrong with DIY either. That's kind of why I like old vehicles, old equipment, etc. I can't sit still and watch TV and it gives me something to do. You know what they say about idle hands and all. We'll see how I make out. I'll look into the CDD ones further too. Good to...

    Question on Timing

    It clicks when I touch it with the test light and Key on/engine off, but I didn’t hear any difference in engine sound when I did the same while idling. Also I’m pretty sure the connectors for the glow plugs turned to dust just from casting my gaze across them, or at least the insulation did...

    Question on Timing

    Yep I knew about the pedal thing. I wasn't sure it was working at all, so I went under the hood and hit it with 12V direct with a jumper. I would expect the plunger to at least extend until it touched the 'throttle' arm, but couldn't get the plunger to move at all. I'll try the same with the...

    Question on Timing

    Thanks for the tips and boost of confidence on the glow plugs! We will see how they go this weekend. I will hit them with some Kroil over the next couple of days.

    Question on Timing

    One other question, I’ve confirmed the fast idle solenoid is bad. It won’t fire with 12v applied directly. Where can I get another one? And where is the cold timing advance solenoid? --Edit--I might have one I can adapt from the Ranger. When I changed to a different carb I didn't use the...

    Question on Timing

    Thanks for the advice! Are the coolant test kits universal? And are the SCAs themselves able to be mixed? I like the 'Stage 0' name, that about sums it up. It does start quickly, within half a second or so and it's running, but it's always been plugged in. Temps in the 20s so not all that...

    Question on Timing

    I recently acquired a 1994 F250. Normally when I get something it sits until I've had a chance to really look everything over. It doesn't take me long with a gasoline engine as I kind of know what to look for and where to adjust it. However, this is my first diesel and while I know the basic...

    Hello from ND

    Hello all, I just recently got a 94 F250 with an NA 7.3L IDI and 5-speed. I have been messing with cars for a while but this is the first diesel I've owned. In google searches this forum pops up most so I figured I'd join. Probably lots of dumb questions ahead, and thank you all for the...
