This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    If you ever want to install a cam down the road, get a timing set now that has multiple keyways so the cam timing can be adjusted.

    Posted this a few years ago....some may have been discontinued.

    Part Numbers:

    Melling:
    Crank Sprocket: S-276
    Cam Sprocket: S-332
    Chain: 491

    Cloyes:
    Crank Sprocket: S276
    Cam Sprocket: S332 (now discontinued)
    Chain: C483

    Federal Mogul:
    Crank Sprocket: 223-276
    Cam Sprocket: 223-332
    Chain: 222-491

    Clevite:
    Crank Sprocket: S-276
    Cam Sprocket: S-332
    Chain: 9-491

    -Cam Sprockets have become hard to find.

    -Couple of manufactures use the same chain on the Ford 429, if you want to score a deal on eBay.

    -The nylon timing gears are worth about 5 hp due to their light weight. (Thanks Tom!)

    -Offset keys for a Mopar are another way to change the cam timing a few degrees.
