RE: Timing gears for FE By Mel Clark - 08/28/2001 10:46:03 PM; IP 64.12.101.152 Somewhere around '71-'72 Ford retarded the cam timing by 4* for a better emissions rating by changing the position of the key slot in the crank gear. You would be best off if you bought a double roller chain that has steel gears on the cam as well as at the crank. These are usually available with straight up timing or either 4* advance or retard at the crank, this gives you the option of fine tuning. If you are only interested in everyday performance you should set the gear straight up.

This thread, so far...
