    Still no power

    I went to the big car auction in Pierce, Ne. Saturday. I got a late start but I was hoping to get the top gear guys to put General Granite on tv again. unfortunately I got there to late for that. The nice thing about that is I was able to park right next to the cars and I didn't even have to...

    Still no power

    I do not have a boost gauge yet. I took it for another run today. Going into the wind I was still able to 1900 rpm like yesterday. But coming back with the wind I was able to do 2200 rpm. I feathered it and went down a long hill, it was not a very big hill but a hill none the less. There is...

    So why would I still get high egt's in 5th by 1900 rpm, but the other gears I can get to full rpm?

    I bypassed the FDC today. Big difference in acceleration in gears 1 threw 4. Temps seamed lower. 5th gear I was able to get to 1900 rpm before I hit temps. I used very little pedal to do this. I am going to have to turn the fuel down a little.

    Can you put a screw in the empty hole? It looks like it has threads.

    I like the look of the tall box as well and better than the ones that the boxes are lifted to make them match the window height. Mine has a tall box as well.

    I turned my fuel down as far as I could and then back up 2 flats. It was completely gutless, very quiet, but still smoked a lot. So I went to try and adjust the smoke screw. But I could not find it. What models have a smoke screw and how do I tell?

    I just changed the oil last week and I could not smell any gas, diesel, or wvo in the oil. So if the fdc is not putting fuel into the crank case then what is the advantage to bypassing it?

    I drove it for a long time on the non turbo setting after I added the turbo. I have slowly lost power ever since I got it. I am starting to lose oil out of the bell housing after a long trip. 50 miles or so. It is usually about an 6 inch circle on the driveway.

    I added 5 more gallons of gas and 7 more gallons of diesel to the mix to get to arcadia, Ne to get it ready for a parade tomorrow. There are a lot of hill in that neck of the plains. It did ok on the paved hills, but no better then it did before. The hills on the gravel roads were a different...

    Update. I had the radiator off and adjusted the valve lash. cylinders 4 and 5 were tight and I could not get any feller gauge in them. This changed the tone a little, but did not help with the power. So I was thinking that maybe the cylinder had carboned up with the valves not being set...

    broke bottom bolt on radiator

    A friend of mine was going to bring his welder over and weld on a few bolts that i cut the tops off, but I got tiered of waiting so I just used the duct tap method. It seems to be holding so far. Just kidding welded the bolts on in the driveway and put it back together. While the radiator...
