hi
where can i buy what i need to set timing on a 98 12 v 180 pump supposedly , how can i be sure i have a 180 ?

i think i need a metric indicator , i have a 1'' english one but metric would prob just be easier ?

i want to set it to 16 deg to start with . cover sayes to set it to 14 factoy but who knowes where it is realy at now ?

where can i find lift specks for degre between 12 and 20 deg ?

where do i get tool for delivery valve r/r ?

thank you !

ps would a fuel plate from a 215 pump help power any ?

 

Snap on sells the timing kit around $250. Also need a barring tool to turn the motor over.
What year is your truck and what trans and people can tell you what pump you have.

Pretty sure all the plates are the same. Can grind your stock one or slid it forward for more power. Grinding it to a 100 plate will give you a good power increase. Make sure you have guages if you start playing with the plate.

 

oldblues: if you have a 98, then you already have a 215hp. go to tst.com for your plate or there are plenty of guys will help you with grinding your own. Also, check the search on the top of home page, then you can pretty much find anything or information you might need. There are a great bunch of guys here, very knowlageable.

the autos had 180hp & sticks had 215hp

 

215 pump

only came on the manual far as i know. They did have the same 181 DV's stock however, but u can still make good power out of a 180 pumped ram. If its an auto tho, u will need to beef up the trans tho....

you can make awesome power w/ a 180 pump. I used to ONLY want a 215 pump, but I would be plenty happy w/ a 180. with a mack front plug and some delivery valves, they'll put out some serious fuel!

 

Mack front plug? Can you give any more info on this? Thanks.
