Re: 1978 ford 302

Ford motors use a eccentric bolted on to the end of the camshaft....no pushrods to mess with.

Re: 1978 ford 302

There is a tab that is on the eccentric that fits in the hole where the dowell pin is at for the camshaft. It follows the came gear. I've seen after years of use that little piece of metal break and wont spin with the cam gear.
