NTC 350 questions
Have an 88 International (not mine, but since I know more than the average local yokle [anything] about them, it has become my project) with a NTC 350 Big Cam III, I think. I'm sure about the NTC350 part, anyway. Million miles, maybe 2k on an out of frame major. Mike, the guy I'm hauling for right now, said the power fell off right before it got rebuilt. They DID replace two injectors. Why not the other 4 is beyond me; maybe injector balance isnt so crucial as it is in our little 6Bs. I asked about the pump, and he said they just put the old one back on. Out of frame major, and they dont even check the pump out? I have noticed that it is about 50HP shy of where it was last summer, when it had a galled cylinder and two bad injectors. Plus, it is SUCKING fuel- 3mpg now vs 4.5mpg and blue smoke last summer. I am thinking the pump may need taken off and gone through by a GOOD shop, and maybe the other injectors replaced, though I am not really equipped to do the injectors.

What do you guys with more experience think? Is the PT pump as crucial to power and performance as the Bosch pumps on the smaller cousins? I'd think so, but would like other opinions before we tear into it and find the pump up to specs and have to chase other gremlins. This being a farm truck, (and company truck before that) there is no pyrometer, boost of fuel pressure gage, so I cant tell you anything there. It just doesnt pull as well as even the 30yr-old 290 does. I think the shop DID put in new fuel supply and return lines, so that is one thing out of the way.

Thanks in advance.

Daniel
