Bone stock but I'm gonna play...
 

I just picked up a 95 12v P-pump 2wd truck and have some stuff left over from my old '02. I am going to swap to the hybrid HX-35/40 turbo I built for the '02 and see what it does. Got 42# out of it with an Adrenaline chip and Banks exhaust and brake on that truck.
So what do I need to do to get it to spool on this truck. I know I need to turn up the star wheel and move the plate forward but should I get a plate for it or will that be enough?
The trans in the truck surges and is weak so I know I am going to pop it, but hey....there is the excuse for billet!

yank the plate, and crank the starwheel...

the HX35/40 will spool easily as the P7100 trucks more fuel than the VP...

you might want to set timing to 16° aswell...

isn't the stock pump set at 15.5? I hear most people bump up to 19*....

stock is 13,5.... stock headgasket and headbolts will be safe @ 16,5

5.9 cummins 12 valve stock
 

I have my timing cover off, to put in new seal. How do I advance timing to 16.5? I am also installing 4000gsk governor springs and 60# valve springs, how do I keep the valves from falling in the cylinder:s:s?::s:

Set the piston at TDC on the cylinder that you're replacing the springs.

Pardon my ignorance... but what's the best way to determine that with no spark plug port?

:humm:When both exhaust and intake valves are at their highest point the piston is all the way up.:humm:

You can also get a Diesel Compression tester....it has a fitting to hook up an air supply through the Injector hole. The air presure will hold the valves in the closed position while you work.
