injection pump timing

[jaynes]

Hey all,



Been awhile since I've posted anything, but I have a question now.



I was trying to advance my injection pump timing the other day. I got all the nuts loose (there are only 3, right?) but when I did, I couldn't get the darned thing to turn. I didn't have a rubber mallet with me, so I couldn't hit it with anything soft (i'd be affraid to anyway). Do I have to remove any fuel lines? Or is it just stuck? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Nope there are 4 bolts. keep lookong you will find them I would tell you were they are but trying to explain?!?! Well here goes. There are three on the front of the pump. and one on a bracket close to the back. The one on the bottom is the worst to find and get to I had to cut down a wrench to get it lose. It is just above the power steering pump.

good luck

Dan

Hey bud, there is a small tubing on top that must br taking off to move the pump. Just bend it slightly to get it back on, not a big deal. Takes a little patience, but it will sound much better when you advance her a bit. Tim

Hey, when i turned my pump,twice, it turned alot harder then i thought it would,and wanted to spring back, the last time i got a bubby to twist the pump and i, using a 3/32 welding rod as a gage,torqued the nuts,i did not like the 1/8 twist,3/32 worked best for me, hope this helps,joe

Ya, once you get it to move, don't let go to tighten the nuts..... the sucker just hops right back were it was... . they are a booger to move...
