Brand new in the box from Bosch. Of course I let Joe Donnelly have a look at it first. ;D ;D<br><br>Don~

 

Its almost stock too. Just a mild #0 torque plate and some gov springs. Its almost too pretty to put on the old engine.<br><br>Don~

 

Ok, I have a question. How does the &quot;plate&quot; work, and where does it go, etc? Just curious. I always hear about the plates, but I have no clue about their operating theory.

 

ok, so you stop by and pick a new pump up without getting me one? how selfish! ;D<br><br>Jack: to put it more simply- the more the plate goes forward, the more fuel that gets forced through the injectors. the lever inside moves forward. the plate stops it. going to a low # plate--the only problem is that it burns a lot on the downstroke (black smoke) and causes the internal pressures to go up quite a bit. injectors add more fuel during the &quot;regular&quot; burn cycle and hence less smoke and lower pump pressures (with a more stock plate). <br><br>

 

Ok, so that explains it a little bit. I guess I would have to see it in action, or diagram it to fully understand, but I get the idea.

 

Can I have your old one? <br><br><br>

 

Don What was wrong with your old one???

 

My old pump was roached. Way too many 4500RPM runs on it. <br>The number 4 and number 6 cam lobes were worn down, a couple of plungers and barrels were scuffed, and I was beginning to expect the roller lifters and springs were getting kinda tired. <br><br>With my old pump on the bench when I tried to turn it over, it was very difficult, almost like trying to crank an old engine over. This new pump just turns over with ease....very smooth indeed. <br><br>Im guessing the old cam with the worn lobes was killing my HP in two of the six cylinders as well.<br><br>Don~<br><br><br><br><br> <br><br>

 

More like how much did you win off the lottery to afford a new bosch pump???? Aren't those things like $2,900.00??

 

There is something special about opening a box from Bosch. Money sometimes takes a back seat to Bosch stuff ;D ;D<br><br>Don~

 

so how many cc's do they do stright out of the box, and how many do you think YOURS will do after any mods you make to it?<br><br>Glad to see your one step closer from being a &quot;pile of bolts&quot;<br><br>Andrew
