New injectors are in

Put in the Bully Dogs today!
Didn't get a chance to really try them out, but I do feel more low end grunt. Engine also runs a little smoother, and the idle is up about 50 from where it was, but at about 850, I need to make an adjustment.
I'll get a chance to put her thru the paces tomorrow on my way home from work, and I'll report how she does. These are the 50 hp injectors, but Bully Dog said I'd only see about 20/25 because I have a non-intercooled engine.
The job went smoothly, no problems other than trying to find the return line washers afer they fell off the fuel lines. I know I'm the only one who has ever played "washer,washer, who's got the washer!" Also had to "dent" the adapter bushings so they stuck to the injector tips so I could get them in the hole without falling off.

The job was made easy with the simple injector puller I made last week at work. I simply welded a 12mm x 1.5 nut (injector top thread) to a 3/8-16 nut. Add a 12 inch piece of 3/8 threaded rod (I have a bunch at home), another 3/8 nut, and a drilled out piece of bar, and you have a puller. I started with a shorter piece of rod, but this length gets the injector out in about 5 whacks...also is short enough to get number 6. Pic in my reader's rigs.
I also replaced the lift pump while I had the system open.

The old injectors, originals I'm sure, ran good and strong, but they were pretty well cruded up. I'll post some pics of these rusty, carboned up things.

Thanks Pastor Bob , for the tips....the advice that is.

***edit:Hey, what did the prostitute say to the leper? ....... ......
sorry I just Had to take that end part out......Pastor Bob
