  1. I have seen this truck in person, and almost bought it. Very nice truck. Very little to no rust. I've still got pics on my old phone of it... 262 Cummins and a 13 speed. Really sweet era correct pyrometer on the dash... No power steering but steered like there was power... Make someone a good one! Was wondering if it would ever come up for sale again

  2. The E7 has a aneroid valve (puff limiter) and if you unhook it it will run worse!!! My E6 had the same setup on it. The valve that the line from the intake goes to is obviously the aneroid valve. Its on the governor. There is a plug that takes an allen wrench to take it out. Get in there with a flat tip screw driver, and turn it so it goes away from the radiator. (If I remember right) The goal is to have less spring tension on it. Its pretty obvious, nothing to screw up. Take it for a little spin. If you went the wrong way It'll be a turd...Just turn it back the other way.

    This setup is different than the earlier pumps. You could simply unhook them, or put a valve in the line...

  3. You're injection pump might need a rebuild. My E7 started missing a little. I talked to my buddy and he said he had a E7 do that and it wasn't a dad miss, just a slight miss. Swapped pumps off a known good engine and it was fine. Mine has another issue, getting compression in the fuel return line! Wil fix that tomorrow...

    If your puf limiter jigger wouldn't cause a miss. Be a sluggish turd, but wouldn't miss. Timing wouldn't make it miss either

  4. That would be the fuel plate. If you took the spring out, dont worry about taking it off. To get more RPM, first be sure the throttle lever is opening all the way, should "cam over". After that there is a throttle stop on the pump the throttle arm hits. Have to disable the tamper proofing and then turn the screw in a couple turns. Check free RPM. shouldn't go over 2350 / 2400.

  5. If its the one I'm thinkng of, take the puffer off, there will be a fuel plate in there. Slide it ahead for more power.

    The air diafram was / is probably bad in that puffer, hence taking the spring out fixed it. You can take the plug out of the top and there is a star wheel that you turn with a screw driver (Like a brake adjuster on a car) that basically releases the spring tension. By rights, you can take the puffer off completely and just make a cover to cover the gov. housing...

    The other style puffers just plug the line going to the pump.
