    M1009 NEW INJECTOR PUMP SMOKING

    The Ford 6.9/7.3 DB2 pump has people adjusting it all the time. Besides spinning the other way, what is different about adjusting it?

    M1009 NEW INJECTOR PUMP SMOKING

    Here is a video showing the 2 different ways to get at the adjustment screw:

    M1009 NEW INJECTOR PUMP SMOKING

    You want to tighten the screw to reduce the fuel rate. Is it a 6.2 pump or a 6.5 pump? 829 is a 6.2 pump and 831 on the data plate is a 6.5 pump.

    Truck-Lite Headlights

    I am interested as well. I have a set of the 27450C lights and love them. I didn’t know they were discontinued.

    Detuned 6.5

    Oh, here is a video about turning up the fuel rate in the injection pump:

    Detuned 6.5

    You can turn the fuel up a little to get some power. But the reality is that without a turbo it is never going to set the world on fire. I see in your signature that you have CUCV 6.2 experience. So, you might actually feel a difference turning up the IP. No one with out 6.2 experience will be...

    New Top Install Problems - Rusty Nuts?!?

    If there is not much but rust in there. Patience and lots of lube with the thread chasers will be the less destructive. A tap will work, but it will remove the most metal while doing so.

    New Top Install Problems - Rusty Nuts?!?

    Buy a thread chaser kit. Here is a video about what they are and how they are different from a tap. A lubricant of your choice and gently with patience running the thread chaser should get you going: I do not remember what exact thread size and pitch the bolts are. Sorry. There is a link in...

    Need Help Identifying a Part

    I can’t say for sure but that tickles “Tie down” in my head. Valve cover to fuel line or wiring harness? I write that because the fuel injector lines have those little bitty screws that hold the double line clamps to a bracket. Your part has threads for a little bitty screws.

    Help with lift pump install.

    If you turn the engine with one hand while pushing on the rod with the other. You will feel the low spot easily. Use grease as you mentioned to hold it in. The grease should hold it long enough for you to put the plate on with the 2 small screws. If the rod falls, use more grease. Think...

    The car show was canceled

    That F-105 in Wild Weasel colors just makes me stop what I am doing and sit in awe for a few minutes of what those guys did. There is a 2 seat F-105 at the cavenaugh airplane museum in Addison. They had it sitting out on the ramp over by a fence looking all neglected and forgotten. I walked...
