Well, I finally got around to retiming my pump, and with no other changes on my engine, I can tell you straight up that it has a bunch more power at 10.5 deg btdc ( pulse method ) than it did at 8.5 deg. The thing actually has pep again, and it's burning cleaner as well. On top of that it actually sounds like a diesel again, Nice crisp solid idle, and it starts cold much faster
It'll take a while to run some fuel mileage readings, but the way the thing is feeling, I'm pretty confident that the fuel mileage is going to go up.
