    drive line angle

    5 degrees just seemed like too much. If it had been less than 2 degrees, I might have tried it as is. It is the size of the spacer I calculated that kind of shocked me. I did not think ford would be that far out on their engineering. I still have to make it and verify my calculation though. But...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Timing a 1994 turbo diesel

    A footnote, for all of you with a burning desire to know whether the timing change got rid of my cold start smoke cloud. It did, no smoke at all now.

    Timing a 1994 turbo diesel

    I will leave it for now. This truck ran noticeable better after I finished timing it. Shows that having the timing checked on an old pump can be worthwhile. I am interested in the possible reasons turbo motors might like slower timing though.

Example from memory, In the early 2000s the cheapest glow plugs I could find where I lived were around 30 dollars each for the cheap glow plugs. On a trip...
