F.P.R. Shim 94-1/2 ?

O.K. This truck has been on here before and the guru's have been a lot of help, but I'm lost again. The FPR shim pic's I find on here do not match this truck.The fuel bowl does not look like my '96 either.
1. When I bought her used it was titled '95 GAS-definitely PSD. 156,5XX
2. Would like to check fuel pressure and possibly shim if low, would like directions to where pic's can be seen.
3. Finally running good but stock with 3" DP, 120v IDM, 6637 and needs alittle more power. 12' Flat bed F-350,-came with a "McCain" bumper sticker- for pulling my IH tractor.

ANY help greatly appreciated.

Loading pics? That's easy for you to say. I type with my thumbs, and I can find at least two ways to spell any word! I will try to find a child to help. I see the schrader valve and do remember a bolt near there. Maybe tomorrow for pics. Thanks.

Well, I found pics. The main difference between the trucks is the '95 does not have a sensor "water in fuel" I'm told like the '96 and this scared me at first, just looked different. Bear in mind I came from a small block/big block Chevy to IDI to PSD with a smidgen of JAP junk in between. So I still feel a little challenged. What has gotten me moving on working on my own trucks is getting ripped off and my friends too. I thought I got took good till talking with two of my buds recently. One paid almost 4K for some work 0n his '01 and they removed the heads and installed injector cups and then re-installed his old inj. with 235K on them. $4,000.00 ! and this is what he described. And another bud payed $1000.00 to replace his inj. seals on an '02. My beefs were not this bad. Thanks for all the help.

Shimmed both trucks-'95 and '96- brought the one up from #50-#62 with a 2-4 lb. bounce. The '96 went from #60-#72 with very little bounce but better response! Should have done this MUCH sooner. Thanks folks for putting up with me.

Good job sir, how did you shim it? did you use a bb or a 4/40 bolt and brass nut?

Hey, I used BB. Did not remember the adjustable till I read the other thread on here right now. Again thanks, for the help and patience. I might have to revisit the issue on the '95, but for now we will drive her!
