Could this be my timing

Hey guys as u no i was having probs with my return line kit, well i bought 8 reman injectors n the return line kit for 137 dollars shiped, i but it all in n it worked. Only one problem, now it takes like 20 seconds of cranking for it to start, if it starts, most off the time i got to use starting fluid. Also my truck shakes at a idle, but i drives just just fine, does any one no wats wrong

Your new injectors retarded your timing because they are holding until the speced pop pressure, try advancing it a dimes width on the marks and see how that treats you.

Sounds kind of like my issue when I installed my new IP and injectors. Mine started fine though. I have the old stuff back on it now. It was running rough and shaking like there was a dead injector or two. I'll try it again some other time.
