Default FIRST GENERATION CUMMINS

I have a 1990 dodge w350. It is completely stock. I am only 17 and need some help with my truck thats older than me. I just figured out how to adjust the fuel delivery through the injector pump (smoke screw...etc). I was wondering if there was anything else simple that i can do to gain HP?

Other than turning screws on the pump, you can bump the timing, and grind the fuel cone. Other than that, that's all the free horsepower you can get.

Please, before you add more fuel, get gauges. At least a pyro.

You've also got the star wheel, (power screw). But yes, gauges are a must.

Price Quote - Request A Price - Diesel Bombers

Go into there and ask for a price quote on a 3200 governor spring (366 spring) for a Dodge first gen.
