I just saw your post of that pictorial, it looks great. I've read a lot of people talking about it, but no instructions. Thanks a lot, your site is great!

Once you finally get a bit of boost..........."it starts to race" as you mentioned.

So, with clean fuel filters and an unrestricted tank screen, it's time to check the camshaft and injection timing. My bet is that one or both of them are horribly late and the engine won't perform.
Fuel filters are good, and I don't know how to check the tank screen. It might need some help. Can you tell me how to check the 'camshaft and injection timing'? Is that another way to say 'adjust your valves'? I'm planning on doing that ASAP- I just need to get a feeler gauge from somewhere.

Here is the procedure to check camshaft timing:

It appears that my favorite link to Dr. Easley's site for checking injection timing is dead. If anyone has the new location of that procedure, please post it.
