Hey Dub thanks for the offer. Quantum, I wished I logged on early today and read your method. But I ended up making my own adapter out of a wooden dowel. I was within specs already by ear. Spent 3hrs tooling on the car to adjust the injector pump 1mm...... :shock: I am still ticked at myself at miss...

I am done trying to dial this motor in by ear and feel. I need to rent a dial tool and adapter to fit the injector pump and set it and be done with it. Anybody have one sitting in their garage that would be willing, if I paid, to drop it in a USP $5.00 box and mail it to me. I would be willing to ma...

I found the problem with my heater and the control of air from top to floors. Its the vacuum pump not producing enough vacuum. I put my mighty vac on the line going into the car and found that 6lbs of pressure is needed to switch from top and bottom and my pump is only producing 4lbs. There is no le...

Problem is that I loosened both top IP and the third on the inside of the gear. Problem is I get hardly any movement at all and notice no...

I am going to reinstall the newly rebuilt injectors with new heat shields this weekend and decreased the injector timing and then see what everything sounds like. I think the injector pump was set to far advanced for the new injectors. If they still sound like crap I will reinstall the old injectors...

I am about to take apart the leaky injector and re-cleaning it and put back together.

Was averaging 39 mpg city and Hwy. loosened the injector pump and advanced it slightly with no noticeable increase in idle. Then we loosened the injector lines to take the tension off of them...

I am going to need further injector advice. I am going to start a new thread.

how do you know if they do not seat correctly? do they leak?

I just installed newly rebuilt injectors and new heat shields. Two of the injectors are leaking and need to be pulled apart again. Do I need replace the heat shields again?

Hello all. I will be performing a injector rebuild and glow plug replacement next weekend. I have been reading all the how too's and have all the necessary parts and tools lined up for the project. The only thing that has worried me is taking off the old return lines and reusing them. Are they just ...
