Id give ya a hand but dont have a timing set yet... Have you tried massdiesel.com? there probably a 1/2 hr from ya...

I'd definitely do it for a few beers.



Too bad CT is a bit of a stretch from here...

I'm in Mass and MassDiesel is where I'll be going If I can't get someone to come to me. The timing is retarded so bad after the pump swap that it cannot be driven right now. So it is sitting in my driveway while I wait for my premium AAA membership to come in the mail so I can get it towed up there free. Also $200 is a lot more than a few beers

ooook, How 'bout pinning both pump+engine, and at least getting yourself back on the road?

Care to expand on that? I know TDC on the engine but how do I get the pump at a reasonable timing without the timing kit?

Sorry. On the P-7100 there is a acorn looking nut down to the left below the governor spring plug nut. Unscrew that nut (expect oil to come out) and remove the small white plastic pin (note the position it came out) that is under the nut. Bar the engine over (helps to have 2 people) while using a mirror etc. to look into the hole that you removed the white pin from and look for a flat, thin metal blade to come into view. when you see it, stop barring, flip the pin over that you took out and re-insert it around the blade. pop the pump gear off the shaft and bar the engine over to TDC. Clean the hell out of the pump shaft and gear with brake or electronic parts cleaner, preferably a type that does not leave any residue and then tighten the pump shaft nut. 144 ft lbs is the recommended torque value for the pump nut. When you torque the nut, remove the pins (both) first, because if the engine moves a little while torquing it will shear the pins. Have someone hold a nut on the crank dampener or if you have a barring tool use it so the engine dosent move. This will put you pretty dam close to stock timing and get your truck running. Good luck let us know how you make out...
