ford fe cam bolt question?
i am going to be running fuel injection on my 390 stroker, what do i do about the cam bolt?, i have heard that the fuel pump eccentric holds in the dowel pin for the cam shaft, does any one make a special washer to hold the pin in when not running the eccentric?. also do they make new eccentrics any info would be appreciated. steve

I would bolt in the eccentric as normal and block off the pump opening. The few ounces of rotating assembly for the eccentric will not be noticed.
|
i am building my motor from just a bare block, where would i purchase a fuel pump eccentric?
|
I've never ran a mechanical fuel pump on an engine that I've built for myself. Just leave the eccentric off...most cams come with two dowel pins. One is longer than the other. Just use the appropriate pin and go with it. The cam bolt washer works just fine without the eccentric.
If you need an eccentric, check Ebay. |

i bought the arp cam bolt it did nt come with a washer?
|
It's been a year since I assembled my 428....does the bolt have a flange on it?
|
the arp bolt does not.
|
Now that I think about it, I think I just put a hardened washer under the bolt to keep the dowel from walking out.
|
so you did not use the fuel pump eccentric ?
|
No, I always run electric pumps.
|
Ditto here! No Eccentric, no problems for almost 8 years. Also, you can use a big block Chevy fuel pump block off just as well as a FE block off. Identical parts and the Chevy may be easier to find at Autozone, O'Reileys, Napa etc.

I have cam eccentrics for $58.16 (new).

Like Brent and Clois I simply left the eccentric off and used a hardened washer underneath the bolt, leaving the eccentric off shouldn't be a problem.
