i have an 89 dodge ram 50- 2.6, 4x4, 5 speed
so i installed my weber a few months ago and been reading post on trying to get it to run right. after getting it i installed an electric fuel pump and filter to get rid of the mechanical fuel pump. Question#1 is there anything else i can remove from the engine bay that could give me a little more room to work. i recently made a block off plate for the mechicanical fuel pump and egr valve and put an extra gasket to help seal better, i will try and upload more detailed photos later . for some reason it is leaking out of the block off plate of where the pump use to be.

little background- so when i did the weber conversion i had trouble building power so with a little tweaking i took it out for a spin and was able to get up to 65 MPH and then boom it cut off and opened the hood smoke was pouring out. couldn't get it to start back up so had to tow it back. later remember what pennyman1 had said in another post, i forgot to plug the 2nd coolant port in the intake before putting the weber pack on. short to say the engine was covered it coolant. i took it back apart plugged the other coolant line and put it back on. also i think i got the wrong weber for the truck bc the idle adjustment screw is on the back side of the carb and is a bitch to get to. i would sent it back to amazon where i got it but since i got coolant everywhere i doubt they will take it back.

i took it out yesterday and plan on working on it tonight to try and get it to run correctly but yesterday it acted like it didnt want to build power. i think it might be someone with the idle adjustment screw or it could be something else but no entirely sure. Question #2 i think i have everything hooked up on the weber correctly but if would like someone to confirm. i will try and post a video of the truck running tonight. but does anyone know what the timing is suppose to be on the 2.6 ?
