Fuel shim kit

I am looking for a fuel shim kit and cannot seem to find one. Does anyone have help regarding these. I asked before and all leads led to we don't have them and can't get them.

Thanks guys,
Michael

Michael,

I have a PDF I got online about making and installing your own shim. I have been looking for it online and can't find it or I would post the link. It was originally on the www.dfuser.com. If you want me to email the PDF let me know.

You can call David at Diesel Innovations. He sells the kit. You can get the shims by themselves or even get a replacment cap. He no longer has a price for them on his web site, but I'm sure he can give you info over the phone: http://www.dieselinnovations.com/di....cts&product=23

Is this what you are looking for? Link to DIY FPR shimming. I recently did this and mine is set at 68 now.

Mike,

The PDF has a good write up and I saved it but can't find the link to send to Mollikate.
Post the link if you have it.

Thanks

Brandon is correc, a bb worked very well for me, my wife and my brother in law. I have been running mine for a month now and think its great.
interesting enough though when we decided o check he fuel pressure today with a mechanical gauge, Mine and My brother in laws measured 100psi on the nose. We took the bb out and it measured 60 psi stock. At WOT it will drop to about 70 psi for a second, typically between shifts, but then go right back up to 100, okay, maybe 98. LOL Anyway, all of the vehicles run absolutely awesome.

JMO, that is too much fuel PSI for pump longevity, Hurts nothing else.
