I did slip the dizzy back apart since it was only two screws to take a couple pics of how I locked it up.



Showing the bushing I used to tighten things up.

its simpler than any 80s carb underhood disaster of wiring and vacuum egr thermactor controls.

with modern fuels.....you are fawked with a typical carb. i swear they made it just to murder carbs.

My whole issue with EFI over carbs boils down to the fact atleast for me its harder to diagnose issues.

With a carb its usually pretty easy to tell whats happening and especially on older EFI systems youre not having to chase miles of wire....because it can hardly ever be the actual component

you say that. but its not true. true in a sense total failure to run. not in terms of drivability issues.

EFI talks to you. You have to understand how to listen. 2 types of people.

People type 1. "O2 sensor, bank 1 lean". Ok. What gives me a lean condition on bank 1? Let's gather data and see what's wrong.

People type 2. " O2 sensor , bank 1 lean". Ok. I'll replace the O2 sensors, spark plugs, wires and air filter. Hmmm. That didn't work. What should I replace next? Dang this truck costs a lot of money.

I'd swear that when some of those type 2 people get a fuel level sender low warning on the dash, they want to replace the sender instead of filling the fuel tank.

No i agree with that. Im kinda a level 1.5....i try to do the whole proper way but i get quickly frusterated and jump to replacing shit because i just want it fixed. Im trying to learn it lol.

But with a carb its just alot more point and shoot if that makes sense
