Sliding The Fuel Plate?
 

I wana slide my fuel plate forward in my 98 dodge 12valve. I looked at some other threads to do it but do you have to take that whole afc off? or is there a way to do it with it still on? I got gauges and all that stuff so i think i should be safe to do it, but i honestly don't have a clue what i'll be doing and how long it might take. And i would hate to have it all taken apart and be lost. Could you guys give me sum imput.
Thanks

No four bolts take the afc off and set it to the side and slide ur plate or pull it out put it back together its simple go on youtube if your worried they have a step by step vid on how to do it!!:tu:

https://www.dieselbombers.com/show-t...on-p-pump.html On the first page I have a pic of my pump with the afc cover off so you can see the plate and 4 screws. Also attatched to the afc cover with 2 of the bolts is your fuel shutoff solinode and it will have to be rotated away from the pump to get the cover off. Any questions let me know. :c:

There are lots of threads on this site that explain and show how to do this. Be careful when sliding it forward. A little is a lot in this case.

if ya got gauges id just yank it and watch the pyro, otherwise they say FF and then back 1/8 inch to keep temps down

what do you think is a safe temp to run at?

1200* max for long pulls

are we talking about sliding the stock plate FF?

B Boyce if your worrying.. don't i took my plate out the other night first time even messing with that thing and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as i thought it might me the only thing i suggest is when you get to the drilling part take the fuel line out that runs from ur filter up around the housing and the down to the injectors i got a lil to squirrely when i was drilling and now it is costing me a new line and they are 80 bucks from the dealership:argh:

What were u drilling?!

that dang allen head. after spending about twenty minutes trying to punch it with a screw driver i said to hell with it and got the drill
