Ok well i ordered my gov spring and while im in there i want to remove the afc lever would this be the best time to adjust the pump timing

 

The pump timing can be adjusted easily even if the pump top is on, that doesnt really matter.But, Remember when you pull the head of the pump off to collect the 2 or 3 peces of the governor setup.

 

I usually retard the pump all the way before I start working, it makes accessing the pump top screws much easier. It's no trouble to put it back together with a little advance.

 

i don't see a pyro listed in your sig. ?? if you take that afc lever off things might start to get a little toasty in there.

 

Yea i wouldnt touch the afc lever without getting a 120$ pyro gauge.

 

I have the guage but i dont have the sender im getting it this weekend

 

Removing that lever don't sound like a good mod to me at all . . . .

 

if it's a play truck that you don't tow with throw the AFC lever away. You'll get full fueling as soon as the throttle hits the floor, lots of power, lots of smoke, and lots of heat. Make sure you get that probe installed and the gauge hooked up. Advance the timing when your done, it makes a difference, I've run mine against the head to keep egt's down, it helps top end too.

 

Ya thats what i am kinda planning. If i kept my foot out of it could i tow 10k

 

not missing the afc lever

 

haha ok what would be bad towing the smoke? or egt?

 

both would be bad, lots of smoke and egts.

 

Ok thanks what if i ground it a little or still no

 

if it were my truck i would get a clean set of injectors larger than the intercooled ones like 190's or bigger and just turn it up.

in that vid, all i did to get the smoke was pull the afc spring out because it was set way up in pressure so i could tow.
my injectors are stock non intercooled which are about the same as 190's. i like the power it has but, theres always more to be had.
and the way mine is set up right now i can tow 12k+ and not get real hot on a 0 to 65 run probally 1100 max

 

you might be able to get by with a slight grind but a cut fuel pin and some larger injectors would get some good power.

even just a way turned up pump will make good power with stock injectors
