I've gotten a lot of advice, some conflicting, but all helpful. I went the last step and called Ford Motorsport. Here's what I found out. The timing chain cam gear determines the eccentric type. If the face of the gear is completely flat where the eccentric bolts on, you MUST use a one piece, which I think comes in two thicknesses. If the face of the gear a low relief circular cut, similar to the engine side of the gear, you MUST use a two piece eccentric. (The two piece eccentric does have a locating tab) The relief is designed to allow the second piece to rotate around the main eccentric. Now to the pin....the technician said that if you torque the cam gear and eccentric to the cam according to the factory specs with loctite, you do NOT need the pin to fit into the eccentric! Hummmmmm. The problem I've experienced was that my eccentric hit the timing cover, which probably backed out the cam bolt. I've ground down the eccentric by 1/8 inch to clear the timing cover, rather than spend $30 at the local Ford Dealer to get the thinner unit. I seem to have the double roller that requires the single piece eccentric, so the retaining tab on the two piece eccentric can't help. Now the question is whether to go with the assembly like the technician said, of course he won't be here to help me disassemble it again if it backs off again and to repain whatever damage might then occur. Then of course I could tap the eccentric pin hole, slightly skew a couple threads, and screw in a set screw with red(?) loctite, to act as a locator? Welding a pin onto the eccentric could screw up the heat treatment? Will a mig welder to tack weld a rod in get the piece hot enough to screw up the heat treatment? Time to make a few more phone calls! ===== Dave Wilson Cobra_2_76@yahoo.com My Cobra II, hosted by Dan Polk http://www.northpro.net/~polk/mii/ My home page is : http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/7500/index.html alt mail: Dwilson@ftmc.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Dave, I would check the thrust plate on the cam to make sure it's good and does not need the needle bearning run under it. you seem to have a cam walking problem and I would look real close at that retainer. as for the assembly thats just common sense to us the locktite I have my one piece installed the same why and I has worked so far. if you want that extra comfort zone tap it and screw it=). I would not advise trying to weld the pin to it for two reasons number one if that weld breaks where does that pin end up? and number two if that pin ends up where we know it does what happens then?. you should be able to use a little propane torch on the cam shout and pull the short Pin and get a longer one I noticed my Lunati came with both as did the last Edelbrock cam I bought. well that was my 1.25 worth.

Dave ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 14:12:19 -0800 (PST) From: David Wilson Subject: Re: Timing chain/fuel pump eccentric (yes I belong to both lists!) I don't have a cam walking problem, I'm sure of that. The eccentric clearance problem was 20 years ago and I have been using electric fuel pumps since then. As far as welding a pin in, I want to find out how hot Mig welding gets the metal with a tack weld. If it's too hot I could ruin the heat treatment of the eccentric. I wouldn't put a pin in without welding for insurance that it wouldn't fall out. I don't believe I'd have any more problem with breaking the pin than I would shearing off the pin on the camshaft. If FMS says I can run the eccentric without a pin at all, there can't be much shearing force on the camshaft, therefor a pin welded in place should be ok. The two piece eccentric just had a stamped tab protruding into the timing gear, another relatively weak point, which seams to verify that the sole purpose of the camshaft pin is to just locate the ecccentric before it's torqued to the camshaft. - --- COBRAII976@aol.com wrote: > Dave, > I would check the thrust plate on the cam to make > sure it's good and does not > need the needle bearning run under it. you seem to > have a cam walking problem > and I would look real close at that retainer. as for > the assembly thats just > common sense to us the locktite I have my one piece > installed the same why > and I has worked so far. if you want that extra > comfort zone tap it and screw > it=).

Checking the clearance with clay I come up with .089 on the intake and .130 on the exhaust. Now the manufacturer says to have a minimum of .100 on the intake, the exhaust is fine. However I have seen most other articles say that .080 is the minimum on the intake. I would rather not grind the piston if I can help it...also on just a note. I have ran the stock mechanical lifter cam in this setup with no problem...that i know of..and the lift on that cam is supposed to be .512 this cam is .501.

A stock Ford Granada rotor, with 5 lugs will bolt right up to the spindle on the Mustang II. What I think the problem will be is getting the right brake caliper to fit in the stock location. Maybe the Granda version will work but I don't know. Then if the Granada calipers fit, your going to screw up your braking proportions requiring a proportioning valve to get the balance back for safe braking. The other simpler alternative to get 5 lugs would be to have the rotors re-drilled as well as the axils and drums in the back. I don't know if there is enough room, but the braking system would then be untouched and maintain it's stock balance. I don't know if this link is still there, but it does explain the headaches I went through getting 5 lugs and 4 wheel disk brakes. http://www.clark.net/pub/fmsjr/brakes.html - --- Allen Hickman wrote: > Help: > > Does anyone know what parts it takes to change > the > front rotors on a 1977 from 4 to 5 lug ? > thanks, Allen > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Thousands of Stores.

Wilkinson" Subject: Older 2.3L Turbo 'Wow' II Fans, Forgive my ignorance of older 2.3L Turbos. I had no idea that the exhaust was routed in such an extended and convoluted way - wow. Has anyone here seen the way it is done in a modern 2.3L Turbo ('84 is my reference)? It is very intuitive with the turbo unit attaching directly to the exhaust manifold. Perhaps this is only for EFI units, but it seems a much better design to me. Isn't there a problem with heat being exchanged directly into the motor or intake manifold with this older system? I must have been wrong assuming that longer exhaust tubes before the turbo would create more turbo-lag. In this cold weather I am missing my EFI and its flawless starts no matter the temperature and its ability to maximize air/fuel ratios and advance for optimal performance, and 30+ mpg is a far cry from what my 351W gives now! - but I do not regret selling it for my II and getting a much more visceral and thrilling driving experience.

Not a pretty sight..but it might re-align > your rear fender and door on your Mach! LOL! The other car ( 77 ) has the brakes. The mach (78) is getting the fender spot welds drilled. Jeez, someday it will be as pretty as yours ( as pretty as a yellow over black car can be ;). I have the rear brakes on the 77 set to max reduction. Even then it gets ... Interesting. The rear locks about the same time as the fronts on gravel in a turn. I figure the 11" front brakes with oversized calipers will cure it. The thing usually referred to as a proportioning valve ( which really just turns on a light if one brake circuit loses juice ) is gone. I suppose some cars have an actual proportioning valve, just not our II's. When I first started the brake thing I thought I would take the "valve" apart and find a proportioning mech. and residual valve. Nada. Just a switch. Residual pressure valves used ( when they are used ) in drum brake applications are 10 lb. I was looking at 2lb residual valves to keep the pistons slightly engaged, or to at least keep the pads from backing off, to help pedal feel and reaction. Anymore, residual valves are mostly only used in Rods to prevent drain back where the master cylinder is lower than the wheel cylinders. - -- Mark. mailto:D8Mach@yahoo.com Never argue with a fool, a bystander can't tell you apart.

If I can get the mechanical fuel pump working I'm going to make some more adjustments to the proportioning valve next year to see if I can improve the feel.

Wilkinson" Subject: OIL FILTER II Fans, You will probably hear this from everyone. A real possible solution is a remote filter adapter. It is a metal 'disc' that spins on where the oil filter is. This device has hoses that go from it to an oil filter and then back to the device again. This allows you to place the filter where it is most convenient for you to change. You can even get one that allows you to use two filters thereby giving you twice the filtration and an extra quart of oil to boot. It is very easy to install this device and should only take drilling a couple of holes on the fire-wall or fender-wall to mount the oil filter(s). I just hope that such a thing is made for the V6.

Then check to see if you have voltage to the positive side of the coil, if you do it's a bad coil, if not it could be the Brain Box. Those are pretty common to go bad. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Dec 1999 13:52:31 -0800 From: "Timothy Grahl" Subject: Free Mustang II Network Mail Sign up today for your free emaill address at the Mustang II Network.
