Augie, you picture posting guy you!

I think that leaves me as the last guy who has no idea….

I did make about 8 cell phone calls last year though, so I am getting pretty high tech over here in the woods of VT.

Computer illiteracy can be cured, with a little training.

The pride, however, is another story.

Hey Oliver, don't feel bad...I just learned what a "selfie" was. A picture of ones self. So I decided to try one. I stood in front of a mirror with my IPhone and pointed the camera at the mirror. What an idiot.
Don't even ask me what I thought "Blue Tooth" meant for years. Can you say go see the dentist?

Well i figured I'd throw some feedback out there. Have not had alot of time to fine tune this setup. Have not drove the ol mess much lately and what little i have has been with a trailer. With the adjustable elbow fully open (thus being just an elbow) and the starwheel 3 turns from the top it still has alot of smoke at every shift. I figure i need to keep coming up on the starwheel. I think i might be running to much timing for these new injectors. I've got it jumped a tooth and all the way against the slots going away from the head. Hopefully I'll get some more seat time in the next few days to teak it. I unhooked the trailer tonight for the first time in a while and got to get on it headed home. Truck sure does run alot better since these little adjustments. Have a sneaking suspension traction bars are in the near future

Vader, re read your last update above. So, I've commented to you about us being real close in pump mods, but now I see that you have bumped your timing. I have never, ever even messed with moving my pump for additional timing. So with that said, my ease of clearing up my haze can't be compared to your situation. At this point, I don't know what else to suggest.
All the posts I've read on pump mods, it seemed like bumping the timing, along with starwheel adjustments and backing off the smoke screw setting, were the go to advice for clearing up smoke. So now I am at a loss to your situation cause it seems like you've already done all that.
