    any chance anyone near me has timing equipment?

    was looking through the timing registry and didn't see anyone that was very close, but maybe there's someone closer to Stevensville Missoula area that has timing stuff that isn't on the registry?

    pyrometer weirdness and cold starting issue

    strangely the starting issue seems to have gone away without me changing anything, but i will still be checking all of that to see if air is getting in

    Re routing fuel return lines/wiring for ATS turbo install

    i think i bought a return line kit at Napa that was for a Factory turbo truck and it had the dead end cap I needed, then i just used a brass T in the line from #1 cap to run the extra line to the back

    finally got engine build finished

    that looks really nice, I would like to go serp but it will wait until everything gets swapped into the new truck, i picked up an 89 460 truck that is basically identical to mine that I'm going to paint and clean up over the winter then I'll swap the diesel into it

    pyrometer weirdness and cold starting issue

    so why does the pyrometer drop out when i turn on the heater then if everything is fine? since i have the multi meter out i decided to check the voltage of the power wire to the pyrometer, heater off 14.7, heater on 13.5, so it has power, did my gauge die?

    no, it drops to the second little white mark with the heater on, and drops all the way to the first little white mark with heater and lights on

    Re routing fuel return lines/wiring for ATS turbo install

    when i installed my 093 i put a dead end cap back by the turbo and put a T in the line that goes from the #1 injector cap to the filter and then ran a line off that T under the intake back to the T on the back of the engine as far as the wiring, i rewired the whole deal and moved my glow plug...

    finally got engine build finished

    so back in December i decided i was going to rebuild the 7.3 out of my parts truck, now months later after much struggling and lots of scouring around here for information i finally got it finished. old engine was pretty dirty and i had no idea if it ran, was told it "dropped" a cylinder but...

    are these the right freeze plugs?

    yeah i did not think they were installed correctly, in fact when i first took the block to the shop i was told that they didn't have that type of plug or the tool to put them Ai they wouldn't do it, but then when i went to pick it up i found out that they had just gone ahead and installed them...

  25. SPR1NK

    are these the right freeze plugs?

    also this is what the freeze plugs look like that the machine shop installed, the engine is painted because i kinda forgot about the freeze plugs until i was going through a list of things to be done before install
