AI caption · Photo 648 of 708

This is a scanned manual page showing a black-and-white photograph of the front of a Ford small-block V8 engine with the timing cover removed. The photo shows the timing chain, camshaft sprocket, and crankshaft sprocket, with three labeled callouts identifying key components: the FUEL PUMP ECCENTRIC (mounted on the front of the camshaft sprocket), the DOWEL (which locates the eccentric on the camshaft), and the CRANKSHAFT FRONT OIL SLINGER (installed on the crankshaft in front of the lower sprocket). The caption states this depicts the 'Fuel pump eccentric and front oil slinger installed' and applies to the 221, 260, 289, 302, and 351W V8 engines. A reader can learn the correct installed positions and orientation of the fuel pump eccentric, its locating dowel, and the front oil slinger when assembling the timing components on these Ford Windsor-family small-block V8 engines. This would be useful during timing chain replacement, front cover reseal, or engine rebuild to ensure the eccentric and oil slinger are reinstalled correctly.
