http://members.shaw.ca/k2pilot/Injec...%20article.htm is an article on turning up the IP, should work the same for down. White smoke is a symtom of unburned fuel, usually timing retarded to far, or more likely injectors are spraying, ie not poping any more. Mine always smoked until I put in a set of rebuilt injectors. Good Luck

When my pump timing was set at 2 degrees after TDC - 10 degrees too slow (~8 degrees BTDC is the correct setting), it did just about what you're describing. Step on it and it would smoke. Steady throttle and it would stop smoking. Letting off the throttle produced another big puff of smoke.
Reset the timing to 8 degrees BTDC and the smoking problem cleared up pretty much instantly. That is the first thing I'd check....

losescrew1968- turing down the IP could be the solution- you will have to forgive us IDI guy's- most of this forum is about helping others out with our own experiances! 6.9 and 7.3 engines use different pump #'s and injectors depending on the year- different flow rates and injector codes had different "pop" pressures, turbo or not. Were your pump and injectors (old engine) the same model and part dash numbers as was on your current engine?? Give us some more details so we can all learn from your situation??
