well you say the injection pump was rebuilt... I wonder what the advance piston looks like...
it really shouldn't be smoking at idle ... now I'm assuming the smoke don't smell sweet and it is acrid and burns the eyes.....
you could advance the pump a bit from the OEM mark ... 1mm movement equals about 2 Degrees
IF the same monkeys that were working on it were the rebuilders of that pump I would be very suspicious.
IF you have a Pull A Part IP's are less than 70 bux I snag em all the time.. they don't come in real often any more but on occasion we get a run on them

BTW I have seen in the past that some folks will jump a gear tooth to try to compensate for a worn out pump. it's a Futile Effort IMHO .. might be ok when just trouble shooting.... but I see no other reason to do that.

Get some clear fuel line and put it inline with the fuel supply and check for air bubbles.
You could try advancing the timing more.
If all else fails pull that pump and go have it tested.
Last I checked it was like $150-200 to have a pump calibrated if that's all it needed. If you need a rebuild buy from constenoga or r&d

well its been a while since I posted and last worked on my smoke issue. Today hauled of a load of scrap. On my way home decided to try and figure out my unburnt fuel issues. So armed with a can of brake clean and the engine running I figured out I have a manifold leak. But also noticed a chuffing sound and kind of odd running behavior. Well pulled the passenger valve cover off and found the intake valve rocker extremely loose and the push rod sitting about 3/16 lower. Pulled the rockers and expected a bent rod. Straight as could be. Thinking I have a collapsed lifter. Doing a JY run next weekend to try a nab myself a turbo and some extra parts. In a slightly inhibited state I decided to paint the valve covers old school Ford blue... If I am going deep into this truck I might as well go all the way

well, you should have gone Corn Binder Grey LMAO but I guess any colour is fine .... and yes a collapsed lifter could cause the issue but you wouldn't always see that with a compression test but you should sure be able to hear it.

Its what we had in our "black hole" at my shop, stuff that was inventory but no longer in our system. And yes, I've seen it happen a gasser motors. Oh well, payday another $100 order to rockauto... Might put off the turbo till I get this old girl running spot on

sorry couldn't help me self 
get her running right first... you can always set the pump up a bit and depends on what your use is as to weather you need a turbo or not.....
why add other crap that you don't need... nothing wrong with a fine tuned IDI NA motor... that in itself demands respect...
FWIW you could probably go Electric Turbo and be better off than EX Gas Driven
Ive been playing with a couple that Spool up in .5 seconds

If you tow heavy and often you'll find a turbo is a must. I lived with my pickup for about 2 years non-turboed and on a 2 lane when towing I'd have to have at least a mile with no oncoming traffic in order to safely pass a slow moving vehicle in front of me. Exhaust gas volume increases exponentially the heavier the load on an engine, so since exhaust drives the turbo, it really puts out the power on a hard pull. Saw that clearly illustrated years ago at a Cat diesel school. They had a turboed diesel on an engine stand running at maximum rpm, no big deal, but when he engaged the dyno at the same rpm to put a load on it, we though the engine was going to knock the shop walls down.

well a broken butterfly and a tatered lifter is killing me. Fortunately the cam doesn't look too messed up. Going to get ingenious with some ways to pull this MFer out. The engine i saw some experimental engine they built for the giggles.

Trying to pull out a broken lifter. Didn't scar up the cam too horrible... Looks like I will be hitting the junk yard to scavenge up some lifter guides. Cant find any online
