Hi to all

Hello to everyone, I came across this site looking for info for my 85 F350 6.9. This is an excellent Site!. I had just replaced the IP & could not get it timed right, Thanks to all the posts very helpful and shaws "talk about timimg" info really did the trick. My 85 only has about 96K on it now, I have been running a banks turbo on it for about 25k Any idea what kind of life span to expect on this motor?? Todd
