Okay... Here is a photo of my PTO Cable I replaced the Fuel Shut-off Solenoid (FSS) with. Now - Notice the giant 22mm Bolt Head Cover right below it. This is where the magic will take place...

I hope this helps more. You will have some tight spaces but you'll figure it out.

the worse you think it will be the worse it actually is, if you go into it confident you wont have a problem, just dont start secound guessing things the you will be all screwed up

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

got them in, whent smooth, but i forgot to write down my measurments like everyone said....so i just set them both @ .060 hope thats ok? the other strange thing was that i did not have the large flat washers just the 2 smaller ones in my pump, i stuck a magnet in ther and nothin else came out so hope it will be ok. anyone else have that happen or should i take her down again and search for them? just thought it was strange...

don't think i did it right...the truck runs good but won't rev past 2800rpm unless i hit the od button, then it will rev to 3000rpm and goes 60 witch is 10mph faster than stock, but on the top end without the od button on, it only goes 90 i think its worse now. the only thing i can think of is i measured wrong or there is still 2 more washers i left behind that are from the stock springs. i thought i got everything out but when i looked @ the pictures posted by USMCBAY i noticed he had 2 more washers in the line up.. any suggestions? am i screwd if i measured wrong? or is there a way to adjust it properly without knowing the stock measurement

Pull them back out. Pull out the shims and just run the springs go initial and three clicks. This is how Weston said to set mine up and it works great.
