p7100 governor arm adjustment Q's
I installed a #6 cam plate awhile back and was told it would be a good idea to tweak the governor arm adjustment like the writeup thats on piers' site.
The way they word the thing about the #6 plate is a bit confusing. Do they suggest making the adjustment such that the arm touches the highest spot on the cam plate, the 'nose' , or do they mean the smaller peak just below that. Im assuming they mean the highest part of the plate because adjusted slightly below that I get the symptoms they mention with the power being awful until it clears that high spot. BTW, watch your brakes if you do this, I had to use both feet to keep from whacking the fence. Also that !@#$%!@#$!@#$!@#$ filter is a !@#$!@# to get on and off.

Well here is some advice
that i learned from Infidel. If you have a 1996 or a 1997 u can undo two of the bolts that hold the brake booster to the firewall i think (if i see them i can point them out) and u can swing it around and have tons of room to work on, seeing that you have a 1995 that might not be the case. As far as your governer arm adjustment should go, IMO i think that if you cannot get it to touch the plate, at least get it flush with the top hump, you might also need to bring back your starwheel a little to let it sit where u want it to sit.. (IE the governer arm)

The peak below the highest point on the plate would cause it to hang up like the writeup said. I ended up with it dead-on to the tip of the highest part of the plate and thats seemed to help.
I also found a line that was involved with the brake booster that Id knocked off reaching for the fuel filter. Oops!
