RE: Oil Pump Knock? |

Tony sorry I did't get back to you sooner. Here is what I was able to find. Had to do some digging to find it. In the reprint of Fords O.H.O. Parts Newsletter. Sept of '72 vol. 1, # 6 they list .022 - .032". The distributor gear location (distance from bottom of mounting flange [the part where the dist. hold-down bracket hits] to bottom of gear) listed as 3.071 - 3.078". I also looked in the reprint I have of the 1968 Cougar, Fairlane, Falcon, Montego, Mustang Shop Manual. The only thing I saw different was the max end play of .033". Which is nothing. I hope this helps. Personaly I think that endplay is a bit on the high side for performance. But I think with this end play you shouldn't get that noise. These specs were listed for FE's. Also maybe check the oil pump drive shaft & the drive opening in the distributor shaft. Let me know what you find. |
