Test Fire!
We pushed the truck completely outside for this event. I just wasn't sure if we were going to get a bunch of smoke or what. Right off the bat I found that the final filter just wasn't quite tight. Easy fix and brought out the oil drain pan just in case there were more leaks. I cracked the #1 and #3 lines to help bleed the injection lines. That's usually all I did for VP trucks. It was nice having the AirDog connected to the "Run" circuit on the key switch. Seemed to help a lot with priming.
After it started I wasn't thrilled by the white smoke out the tailpipe. That combined with the popping while trying to raise the rpm, yet smooth idle (I couldn't hear any misses) leads me to believe that the timing needs to be advanced more. I tried setting it for 18 degrees, but I'm wondering if I need to double check my TDC mark on the front pulley.
