    A great loss.

    I was stunned to learn of this. My son texted me, having seen it on FB. As with all who knew him, we mourn his loss. I first met him, I believe, at the Chattanooga rally, but saw him again (as Ron's fine photo attests) in Michigan and perhaps one other time. He was always great to swap...

    Problems with my new injectors very frustrating

    Very sorry this problem happened. Obviously we don't want this to be an issue, and are trying to find ways to test them more thoroughly. The problems of vibration and heat are difficult to duplicate in a test environment, and short of putting them in an actual engine, I have not had any luck...

    A blast from the past......literally.

    I still tell that story of how Travis and I cleaned out an autoparts store of all their washer fluid. Gosh that was a long time ago. A lot of water under the wipers in the years past as it were. I wish I had known then what was going to happen. I would have tried to stop him. (I'm sure I...

    Wanted: 6.9/7.3 IDI Injector cores

    I'm looking for Ambach (United Tech) and Stanadyne injector cores. I don't need any Delphi cores. You will recognize the difference easily, as the cores I'm looking for have 12 point nuts holding the nozzle on, versus 6 point nuts on the Delphi (Lucas/CAV).

    DB2 Tuning Guide

    Just to caution some folks, there is a lot of truth, but also a bit of vapor to what has been stated here. Hot start issues have nothing to do with fuel pressure in the case. It's simply a matter of the fuel in the nose cone getting superheated by the radiant heat from the engine, and thinning...

    Parasidic Draw on my 1989 F-350 with the 7.3 idi

    I hate reading about people replacing parts without knowing they are bad. This is how we introduce multiple problems and get into real headaches. First rule of thumb with parasitic draw problems, is disconnect ONE battery negative terminal. At least this way, when it kills your one battery...

    With a heavy heart......

    Saddened to hear of his passing. My 82 year old mom has dimensia and is on an Alzhiemers path. If he made it to 89 and didn't have any of that, I'd say that's the best way to go. I salute his life well lived!

    1984 6.9 fuel not goin from ip to injectors

    Possibly the return line to the tank is plugged. You might check that, but it wouldn't cause your no start.

    7.3L IDI Marine Engine

    I have a friend that is re-powering his boat and would like to sell his MCA StarPower VBoss 270. For those not acquainted with MCA, it was the Marine Corporation of America, which was a division of Franklin Power Products, the "official" Navistar engine re-builder. MCA was sold to Brunswick...

    Hey guys, sorry for the dumb question, but this site changes now and then and I can't keep up with it. Where are we putting the Buy stuff/Sell stuff section? I have a friend who is selling the 7.3IDI turbo out of his boat and I want to list it.

    Gt3788 guys... a question

    Keep in mind, that the water going to the turbo is primarily to prevent coking on shutdown. This turbo (and all others) are primarily oil cooled. The water moves through the turbo as if it were just another chunk of heater hose. There is no restriction, and no blockage, and in reality, the...

    Our "OTHER" ford IDI

    I had an 86' Ranger with a 2.3L gas engine in it, and that thing drove to the moon and back almost twice. I would have killed to have the diesel model back then, but couldn't find one.

    Question for the R&D guys

    Not my product of course, but based on my interpretation of that, he is using a cam that takes a larger cam pin where it goes into the advance plunger, which also means he is using a different advance plunger or is boring it out. Seems odd to me, because we get all kinds of fuel out of our...

    Cylinder #1 Pressure Sensor

    Don't try to delete it. If you really want to do that, get yourself a new #1 injection line from a Van. Deleting it would shorten the line and mess up your timing.
