Why does my caterpillar 3406b have low power?
One other problem, maybe the timing advance is slipping internally causing the timing to not advance properly. This should be chacked by someone who knows to to check, repair and retime the engine. Having lots of black smoke and high idle is usually a good indicator that you have a leak. Replace the boots you have coming and time the motor.
Is the Jacobs 3406b Jake a good car?
Jacobs never perfected this Jake. After, say, 500K miles the slave pistons will wear in their bores, and oil will start leaking by causing poor performance. They only made these for a short priod of time, reason being…fast wear. They sounded really good, (almost as good as the 401 model on the old Cummins) and braking ability was good also.

What’s the difference between Cat 3406 and 3406b injection pumps?
As far as the governor and barrels and plungers, they are the same on all applications. Around 1991 Cat changed the injection pumps and went to bigger cam bearings and plungers. This can be noticed by 7E-5888 cast in the housing, while 3406B pumps had 7W-3906 cast in the pump. Timing also dropped to 9.5-11 degrees on the later pumps.
