The gauge is actually called a "pyrometer" . I just called it a "exhaust temperature gauge" as that is it's function and some people would not know what I was talking about if I just said "pyrometer" . You can get them all over. "Summit Racing" sells a few good ones. There are quite a few good...

Why would you want one ? They are not the most dependable of items. To operate properly they must be maintained on a regular basis, and even then they have a habit of leaking. The only place that would have one is a military "surplus" store. If you really want one try "White Owl" military parts.

The booster pump on the injection pump itself. Just remove the fuel line that goes to the "Fuel Density Compensator" . It might have been bypassed so that the line off from the "T" fitting.

He hasn't been on the site for almost two years now.

I guess when the pump is set up correctly to use the two pin hole injector there would be no difference in power feel. Just like you mentioned, your probably getting a better burn on different fuels.

I agree. You should at the very least get a new "silicone" front pump seal along with using Synthetic ATF. The silicone seals are usually "red or reddish in color" . They can handle extreme heat. The racers use them. I installed one in my CUCV just because.

Looking good ! That is a massive project !

I'm sorry, I forgot to address your question. Yes eliminating the FDC will give your truck more power, "BUT" you must be careful or you could melt your pistons ! If you bypass your FDC then get an "Exhaust Gas Temperature Gauge" so you can monitor your temperature. Or turn down your fuel just...

This was what I was trying to say. Thanks Frank.

Urp !

No kidding ! That would be an horrendously long trip !

You have your thinking backwards. Lets be honest here. How many bulbs do you go through ? Instead of spending hundreds of dollars to convert to a 12 volt system, why not buy some spare bulbs ? They are actually quite cheap on the internet. I bought a pack of 24 for each light years ago and still...

What he said.

Will do.

You should know better with this crowd ! They'll nail your butt to the wall for a misplaced comma !

Hey those "chubby bellies" come in handy as a buffer against things like hard fenders ! Kind of like having a built-in pillow !

I must have missed that part. I just thought he was installing 'O' rings in the Hydraulic head.

Here is the TM's description of the FDC. Note where it says it must maintain a constant power output "regardless of the fuel used" . Well since anyone with common sense knows you cannot make a fuel have more power then it actually does (BTU's of energy) , then you must bring the higher BTU fuels...

Sorry but your wrong here. Because there "is" a difference between fuels and how they perform, they added this FDC to make everything feel the same. Why in the world would we even need this device in the first place !?!?!? If according to you, you just use the throttle. That is why everyone and...

OK, I keep forgetting how "Anal" all you guys are ! Yes technically it is a heavy mist not a stream, but the basic principal I layed out is correct.
