1990 Ford 7.3 idi
I have 1990 F-350 crew cab dully with a 7.3 Non turbo, 4 speed with OD. The truck runs great no issues. but for some reason it takes for ever to get up to speed. I can only get up to 55 mph.
I have attached the vin tag. Here.

They are slow..but it should be able to go over 55....my 86 with its horribly worn out 6.9 could get upto 70 or even faster no problem..probably needs a new IP and injectors if the engine has high miles and they've never been replaced..

Yup. Pretty sure even a NA, worn out IDI would handle 70 unloaded without issue.

Check:
Timing, 9* at 2000 RPM
Throttle cable full travel on pump
If he says MPH I'm sure he means MPH. I've had several 80-86 trucks, some were made in Canada some were made in America. All were sold in America and had standard gauges rather than metric.

Just want to point out that I have a "made in canada" '88 with standard gauges, and my '93(which I *think* is a canadian made truck; would have to check) has Metric gauges. That truck drove around canada for many years, before somehow ending up in the states.
