Is it possible to advance pump timing easily on a ford 7810? I know advancing timing increases power and reduces smoke and I have done it on all my old diesel cars but not on a tractor or a vehicle that is not a IDI diesel.
I want to advance it by 1 or 2 degrees to see if there is an improvement in power.
The issue is I don't know how to do it, the pump does not seem to be able to just be rotated on the mounting flange like on older cars so how would I be able to do a small adjustment? I imagine if you move the alignment marks that are on the gears, the timing will be way more than 1-2 degrees off then but I don't know.
