AFC Mod's
Ok, so i understand why the ACF foot needs to be modified, but i do not understand how to do it. does the back of the AFC foot hit the housing and stop not allowing the gov. arm to contact the plate, or is travel limited on the arm that it moves on? also what other afc mods are there if any.
thanks for shedding light on the subject.

You can do a few mods to the AFC.
The AFC has a plunger with a spring on it ... and you can adjust the tention of the spring w/ a new spring which adjusts the pre-fueling IIRC.

At the very least you can flip the washers around that are attached to the diafram (<sp) and put a small spacer on the rod to space the washers farther towards the rear of the housing(space it out as much as possible to just barely allow the nut to grab the threads and hold it together). And you can cut off about 3/8"-1/2" off the back of the AFC foot and grind the rear-most edge of the foot down about a 1/4" to allow the foot to sit deeper in the fuel plate. That for the most part is what can be done but I grinded on a few other things as well that I felt were limiting the travel of the foot.
It sounds a little more complicated than it really is, once you take it apart it really is a breeze and the part that takes the longest amount of time is letting the parts cool every now-and-then after you have cut or grinded them.

ok, that makes sense. I thought that the back of the AFC foot was the limiting factor, and i thought about just removing it, but like some pre-boost fuel control other than the pedel, just incase someone else drives it. So basically you can just grind the rear of the foot untill it looks like the plate will limit gov. arm travel and not the AFC foot?
