I think what Guy is referring to is that not only do the shims set your pump timing, but the rotational setting of the pump is important for balanced fuel delivery and proper fuel shut-off. This can be adjusted using the thermal gun. If you have a machine that smokes after start up ( for a...

Nice Fox body. I had an 87' LX , 89' Saleen, 93' LX, 2000 GT, 94 GT, 88 GT convert, 05 GT and I still have my first car, a 67' coupe with a small block, T5, 9" posi and nitrous as well as my 69' big block convertible. Then there's that other Pontiac thing over in the far corner... ;-)

Yup, for the sake of a few bucks just replace it, don't even bother taking it out to test. I will guarantee it is stuck partially open. Also, other reasons removing the t-stat will cause problems are: Coolant flowing too quickly and will not properly pick up or dissapate heat and removing the...

Hummm.... SBF! my kind of guy! I have nothing but Fords.... Except for my wife's 350 Formula convertible, but as I said.... Her Formula, not mine! It's parked on the OTHER side of the garage ;-)

Like everyone said, Best to see why it's been fiddled with and go from there. If the switch ends up being bad I have a used spare.

Guys, FYI I just purchased some extra Champion 182 ( CH-42 ) glow plugs as well as some of the real Onan equivalent 2920-00-106-1817 kit ( which includes the copper washer ) , same kit Green Mountain is selling and I also have some of the Onan 0110-0546 copper washers available separately. If...

Out of curiosity, in case I missed it, did you change the temp sender to match the new gage? Your new gage is going to read incorrectly if you leave the old sender because the original is a 240* and new is 250* but both have the same full swing resistance. So the new gage will read high. Also...

Let us know if the connector cleaning fixes it. If not I've been through a few contactor issues lately and can possibly help, but it is pretty self explanatory to test and troubleshoot.

We're dying to know what the problem ended up being?? Did you have a lift pump issue or something else?

Sure any time, PM sent... For others, looks like this "working from home" thing is melting my brain. It was a 10 pack of ZDDPlus for $83...

I presume you're having problems with the Contactor? Is it not closing from the switch?

Instead of bed liner sprayed on, you could use the stick-on sheets of sound deadening material designed to use inside car door, under floors etc. Dynamat is one popular brand, but there are others that are less expensive. Some are rolls and some are 12 x 12 squares. Warm them up to help conform...

Looks like several guys beat me to the punch, but as I was reading my response was going to be Buy whatever is on sale! I've used them all. Rotella, Delco, Delvac, Tractor Supply's "Traveler" line, ( just got 2 gl. of Traveler for $17 on special ! ) even the Wally world's Super Tec. oil. (...

Still seems like a governor problem to me ( assuming the answer to Guy's final question is no ). It's sounding more and more like you are probably going to have to take off the timing gear cover and inspect the governor assembly. You said it will hold at least 12K, so that means mechanically...

Yup, Exactly....

I think the first thing you should do is give the AM/VM and AC select switches a good cleaning and exercise them a bit. Could be just oxidation on the contacts causing bad connections. There's lots of discussions here about the switches, what happens when they are dirty and how to clean them...

You know.... I wonder if we could be overlooking the obvious?? Is it possible your governor droop adjustment is way off?? Take an look in the TM, it will tell you how to adjust it. There's a plug in the timing gear cover near the governor. You remove the plug and use an allen wrench to adjust...

Is the Hz gage at 60 approximately? My first guess is a defective, damaged or otherwise "messed up" voltage adjustment Pot in the voltage regulator. If you look at the VR you will see a small hole in the front cover with an adjustable potentiometer behind it. I had a machine where someone tried...

One thing that comes to mind, if the pump itself is good would be a problem with the cup under the pump that rides on the camshaft. Make sure it isn't either missing or stuck in the bore and not allowing full motion of the pump. The other thing to do would be to swap the pumps and verify if the...

If you can't find them from Gary Jones, let me know and I can take them out of a parts motor for you.
