fuel pressure

where is the fuel pressure adjustment(s)? i thought it would have to be on the injection pump, but did not see one. which way do you turn the screw to increase fuel pressure?

The lift pump supplies the needed fuel pressure to the injection pump.

There is a fuel pressure adjustment inside the pump. There is a "transfer" pump in the injection pump. Don't mess with it without a pressure gauge and some info on out to check and adjust it. The adjustment is back in the pump where the fuel inlet is.
