Re:Old Smokey's Fuel Pin

Mike, is the 40hp number on a modified truck or a stock truck with the cone at its stock setting? In other words, can you give an idea of what a modified truck would see as far as added hp with the pin?

I think I read on the TDR that hp number was on a stock truck.

I wouldn't expect any mileage improvement.

Biggest problem I found is it appears that the pin is slightly longer than stock...
The mark on the face of my pin didn't get down to the bottom of the pin until I 'honed' the inside of the cap so the diaphragm would come up higher.

Now I'm ~ right on the end of the sloped face at the very bottom. I noticed that even with the power screw turned in, the idle dropped. Guess it's due to less fuel - which was my original aim.

Now the mark goes from the thinnest to the deepest part of the pin.
We'll see how that affects driveability and mileage next month after I get the new trans installed.
