OK, we got the car all taken apart and are in the process of changing the timing chain.

Do the dots on the gears go up and up, or up and down where they are "touching" in the middle?

It's a 302 for anyone who hasn't read about her before. (72)

 

I believe they are supposed to be pointing at each other. What luck, I have just removed my timing cover today too. Now i got to wait til the 14th to get my parts

 

I was just reading your post, it is a very small Mustang world.


Thanks, about the placement, are you pretty sure about that? We don't have a book on her yet, it will be in on Tuesday.

 

MAN, i dont want to tell you wrong, but on a chevy 350, thats how it is, i would believe that a Ford would be too, even though ford seems to make everything tough.

 

Towards each other. in the middle....final answer.


Did get the million?

I am telling you this as I look at my 1969 Car shop manula with pictures reading "installation of timing chain" if that makes you feel safer

 

Thanks ya'll are great.

I knew joining this forum was a good idea...

I am right, aren't I?

And you both have to split the million

 

why didnt you just ride up to mustangs unlimited it might have been a long trip but not 4 days worth.

 

The cam gear(big one) dot should be at 6 o' clock and the crank gear(small)should be at 12 0' clock. Good luck!

 

The single dot on the lower gear is lined up with the dot on the larger cam gear. A picture is worth a thousand words.
