Combinding mods.
Ok. I have just bought a 93 Cummins and got it home and now the seal on the governor shaft is leaking. Been doing some research on what to do and how to do since I am a total newby to this.
I am looking at doing the following mods all in the time that i pull the pump to replace the seal for the governor shaft. Here is what I am thinking........
-install the 3200rpm spring
-get a Denny-T fuel pin
-advancing the pump timing
-adjusting to actually getting WOT, (not going to try the more in depth method of grinding yet)
My question is, how are all of these act together? My goal is the open it up a little, get more response out of the truck, and try to improve the mileage of the truck. I have heard that the black smoke in the exhaust is unburnt fuel so I am hesitant to mess with the smoke screw, and the other adjustments I'm still a little vague on what I should do.
I want this truck to have more power but I also want to improve mileage.
Should I do all of these mods or is there anyone of them that I might not want to do in combination?
My plan of attack had been just research, now that my head is about to explode with all the stuff I've been reading I figured I will ask for some advice.
I do appreciate any advice.

Do you know what wires i need to tap into to temp a switch? And do i only need to turn it on when I want OD to engauge? And I take it I would have to run two wires so it has a ground to accompany it. Also, the large trans coolers that come under the side of a stock bed, it this a factory part or aftermarket?

I belive its teh rear wire. And you need to ground it for it to work. One wire should be a hot wire when teh truck is running. Unplug the plug, start the truck and get under there with a test light. When you find the hot wire hook a switch up to the other wire that GROUNDS it when you turn on the switch.
The cooler under the bed is factory.
