As far as advice i have none, since I've never ground a stock fuel pin. But if you have a basic understanding of how you VE pump works, and why you are ginding your pin, you should do fine. Here is a link also for instruction. Good luck.

Remember even if you totaly grind too much which IMO, you realy can't other than for over-weakening the pin, You can always get out a welder and add back on. Just take your time.

I wouldnt grind like he did.The pin can only go down so far and it bottoms out.he probably doesent eben get use out of his "new ramp".unless you shaved the base of the pin.
