Did a search and I couldnt find any answers, so Ill have to ask here on the board.

I changed the timing chain on my 59 292. I installed the gear, fuel pump eccentric, spacer, washer and cam gear screw. And the fuel pump eccentric is still loose. There is a .045 gap with screw bottomed out on the cam. What am I not seeing? Are there different cam gears from early to late style yblocks? There wasnt a counterweight installed on old timing set.....Thx

Thanks for those pictures!

Hopefully that rear thrust washer is stuck on the backside of my timing gear. The 59 Ford Shop Manual doesnt show a nice assembly pic like the one you showed....

Check your camshaft end play when assembled correctly to be on safe side for thrust plate lubrication.
