I haven't looked at that stickey lately, but that sounds like the smoke screw. Just FYI, the smoke screw and starwheel adjustments are pretty much useless once you turn up the full power screw or install bigger injectors. I would view them as nothing more than distractions when it comes to real power mods.

I'd start by turning the cone to the deep profile and go from there.

Pretty much. My smoke screw is turned all the way out, i.e. flush with the top cover - not doing anything. Did you turn the cone so the guide pin rides on the deepest part?

These things are fun to play with once you figure them out.

Yup. Carefully pull the boost line banjo bolt from the back of the AFC cover, taking care to not loose the two little copper washers. Pull the top of the AFC off, lift the diaphragm, and rotate the pin so that the most offset portion of the cone is toward the front of the truck. (so that the little plunger deep inside the pump will protrude into the fuel cone bore the most.) Re-assemble. Carefully torque the bango bolt, its thin and can be broken if over torqued.

On the back of the AFC cover. Its the very top part of your injection pump. There is a signal line that comes off your intake manifold and goes into the top of your pump. The bolt that goes into the top of the pump, through that signal line, is the bolt I'm referencing.

Maybe this will help.
