    well from reading the tag on engine its a remaned engine just wanted to know if it was a weaker or lower rated hp rating then the past 7fb engines ive had for one this engine has a turbo on it with a smaller front compressor housing, as well as the nose cone on front timing cover is pointed on my 7fb engines they were not they has a flat dommed cover.

    It is just that, a reman engine. the arrangement number would possibly tell more about it than anything. Pointed advance cover is definitely a newer style advance. What is the casting number on injection pump.
     
    flc120 Thanks this.

    so with arrangement # and casting off the pump it will give you more insight SMOKIN CAT as to what this engine can be set for.?

    hey SMOKIN CAT quick question I wanted to know if I would be able to open up the pump on this engine beinge that I know for usre it has the smaller factory turbo, will there be any negative effects by opening up the pump?

    also I know the last b model I had, had the timing advanced would I be able to play with timing any without any major tools? I know there was something behind the nose cone that needed to be played with just a little.


    also I noticed on the Fuel Pump the clocking for the throttle pedal tube, it looks as if it has been moved back or retarded on the clock wheel on the pump itself, you can see were the arm was originally located as its not painted in that location, does this have anything to do on how quickly the truck responds to fuel and pedal response? what I noticed with this truck is that you can floor it and power will not rise instant has like a slight delay before she gets up and goes and holds 25psi of boost on the guage.

    ive changed all filters.. but noticed the clocking on the pump is there anything I can do there to make it respond better?

    any help would be great, I know how to open up pump already, but don't know about the timing and pump clocking.

    I would say that the throttle was moved to match up to the linkage that was in the truck, have someone hold the pedal down while you watch it you are worried about travel, it should break over if it does then the travel is fine.

    Most at likely the lack of response is from the AF/C being set tight, you can adjust this just like someone probably did on your old engine. Anything you could have done to the old engine can be done to this one, you tune it off of your pyrometer, by doing so it doesn't matter what is inside, no matter what you will only be able to get so much out of it.
     
    flc120 Thanks this.

    smokincat I will try that but what exactly do you mean by break over if I remember correctly its set somewere at the 9 o clock position but the old mark looks more like the 12 oclock position.

    I spoke to the old owner and he told me the reason why it was moved was because the pedal angle inside of the cab was uncomfortable so he added a plate to top of pedal with more angle up and adjusted pump on throttle clocking so that it would bolt up and line up could this be my slow response issue? if not im just going to open up the pump the way I did on the last b model and see if that helps.

    There is a spring built into the throttle mechanism, best way to understand what it does is to remove linkage rod from lever and move the throttle on the pump with your hand, you will feel it stop but the part the linkage connects to will continue to move until it bottoms out, the linkage from the truck should do the same thing.

    You may have to put it back how it was, I know when installing the B model cat into my W900A I had a difficult time getting the travel of the pedal to match the pump.
     
    flc120 Thanks this.

    so are you saying to remove the tension from pump mechanism I need to remove linkage and see how far forward pump mech goes around?

    I was saying that to understand what I meant by break over it would be easier to understand if you were able to do it without the linkage connected.

    To check for full travel you will want to do it with all the linkage connected.

    with the linkage connected tho it wont show me the max limit to the rack tho?

    what I did notice is that the throttle pedal seems to be way higher in position, cuase when pedal is floored its no were near the stop tab behind pedal.
