Bumping timing questions

I read wannadiesels sticky.

1) What is "AFC housing" ?

2) Loosen three bolts and rotate towards head , Thats it?

3) Doing this lowers egt's, reduces smoke, gives better mileage and HP ?

4) Are there negatives to doing this?


Thanks
Chris

Rated RPM is the RPM where the engine is designed to develop peak HP.

For a truck with stock injectors, an 1/8" (measured at the match marks on the pump and timing case) works well. With big injectors, shoving it to the head works pretty well.
