    Lots of Black Smoke

    Things I've noticed Black Smoke anywhere in the power band More power when cold advanced is on, less smoke. I am going to assume the fuel screw is messed with. Also would it being out of time (retarded) have anything to do with this too? Time for new IP and injectors? Compression is good...

    bought a zf s5-42

    I bought a zf this weekend. Had to give 40 bucks for it, it came out of a bigger truck, it has the parking brake on the back. Looks like the reason the guy got rid of it is, because it cracked the bell and someone welded it back up (did a good job on it). The gears and syncros look good, and...
