![]() ![]() The C3OZ-B thrust plate has lubrication slots 180 degrees apart with a 47/64-inch center hole and two 19/64-inch bolt holes. There are three basic camshaft thrust plates. You must pay very close attention to change levels and make sure everything works well together. There were a number of changes in small-block Ford timing set configurations during this engine family’s production life. How about an engine pro 08-1135 ?Īnd don't worry if the set you have is slightly different than where you started, if your car came with the narrow set, you can switch the to wide, as long as you get the set. ![]() If you get a set with multiple keyways, choose straight up, or 0 degrees. You WILL want to avoid timing sets for 72-79 ( ? ) 302s because the have camshaft retard ground into the set, those would be an 'emissions' timing set. There are also 1 or 2 piece fuel pump eccentrics. If I were at work I'd look in the catalog for you. Ford started with a narrow timing set on the 260 & 289, then started making them a little wider. The Ford Windsor small blocks all share the same cam to crank spacing, so you can use almost any set you want. One usually buys by a time set, which will be two new gears and a new chain all in one box. There are two different width set ups for the early 289, differentiated by chain width. The chains are wider than the gears by design, the extra width on the chain keeps it correctly centered on the gear. This may lead to oil leaks on the front YMMV:shrug:ĭon't even worry about anything other than the "straight up" key ways unless you old one was actually an updated one and tweeked during a rebuild. I got a double roller performer link? Cloyes for 1/2 an eddy.and from my best measurements I bet I could have left the oil slinger on with mine but a large percent of rubbing issues so I left it off in fear of doing ot twice. ![]() When we searched under Mustang it only gave eddy and comp cams only as options at 2X+ the price so you ,might need to search as for a falcon or Fairlane ('64 in your case) depending on the store. I had decided on the specific cloys part number and they said they could get it but it came in as a made in India duralast, demonstrating the value of a brick&mortar store for some special orders and returns. I like to get hard parts AKA easily found common engine parts from a autozon I have a relationship at but they tried the part# switcheroo on me. same with comp cams so either pick a name, low medium of over priced$$ or pic the place you want to buy from.ġ middle price eddys is described as Performer-Link By Cloyes so I just got cloyes from my local oreilys. I know that Cloyes and Milodon are recommended brands but beyond that I'm not sure exactly what I need!īoth eddy and cloyes have 2 or 3 different ones that fit and 2 special named double rollers. But I don't really care if it's fancy or not. It must be very durable (obviously) as I tend to run long distances at pretty high RPM. ![]() It seems odd to me that the sprocket/chain widths are mismatched, but maybe that's normal?Įither way, I am looking for a good solid timing set as a replacement. The problem is that I have no idea what I need! So here's what I know:Ģ) Timing cover is early style with aluminum water pump (no backing plate on pump)ģ) Cam sprocket currently on the car is a Mellings S406 - 13/32" tooth width, 42 teeth, used AFTER change L7Ĥ) Crank sprocket currently on the car is a Mellings S431 - 13/32" tooth width, 21 teeth, used AFTER change L7 My old chain is very stretched out and is in need of replacement. Hello all, I've been very busy opening giant cans of worms this past week! Today's can of worms is the timing chain. ![]()
