Re:Fuel plate
A good place to see it is at www.TSTproducts.com
look for instructions for changing the fuel plate, except you aren't replacing...just sliding. Once you see pictues of it it's a piece of cake. Hard to describe it in text. You're where I started at about a year ago.
I STILL NEED MORE!!!
No more power until a good transmission gets in there
(advice for you and me)

Re:Fuel plate
I know this is an old thread, but I just found out that I have a 12v (rather than a 24v). How much HP/torque does moving the plate forward provide??? Ive heard that it is better to just buy a new plate. Why is that???
Thank and remember that Im still learning!!!

Re:Fuel plate
GreyBoy, you probably arent going to get a whole lot of HP out of sliding your plate - possibly 20-30....
Tuff, get a Southbend.....the stock clutch just doesnt cut it....especially if you are looking to add HP....

Re:Fuel plate
it is usualy advisable, that if you are going to start to play with horse power up-grades, that gauges are a must, so you can see where your EGT is at all times. i might have over looked whether or not that you had gauges, if you do sorry.

Re:Fuel plate
what nivram said is DEFINATE!!
I moved my stock plate forward, and notice a big difference. Only 20-30!! Thats quite a bit for such little work, considering you would spend almost a grand to get that out of a 24valve.

Re:Fuel plate
How bout grinding the stock plate to a #10??? Can it lead to any problems if done wrong??? Will it differ in hp compared to a TST??? Sorry if thats a stupid question.
Thanks,
Sam

Re:Fuel plate
Yeah what Jim said, I like my #10 tst,it is remarkable what change it made,looking at my factory one, I do not think I would attempt to duplicate as if a guy gets a different truck he might want to put the stock back in and take his tst with him to his new truck, and I might add to install the 3gsk springs,gauges and retime, Don't you think that is right Jim?? Thanks again Jim , Rick
