Re: Project 67 GMC custom 6.5 turbo diesel

Since my last post I found out that my injection pump took a dump on me while it was hanging out on the shelf not doing anything. I have the wiring all hooked up, engine turns over great but no juice. I bought a remanufactured unite from Badger Diesel with a military grade hydraulic head. In hunting around for a new pump I found out that the older style head unit I had has historic hot start issues. The military units do not. So I got my new pump and put all the crap back on the motor and it fired right up once we bled all the lines out. I just forgot to line up my marks on the pump and the timing is off a little. Next step is to put an oil pressure gauge on it and make sure I have good pressure and adjust the pump. Assuming that is all good. I need to make up a manual waste gate, do the brakes, and finish off the veggie oil fuel system, rut it a little longer and make sure I don't have any leaks anywhere. Then put the sheetmetal back on it. Sounds simple enough. Oh ya somewhere in there I need exhaust.
