[Tigers] Cam Thrust Plate

                Here is my best guess.

Your right they did not give you any instructions for this situation.

 

The attached picture is what’s available today – NPD has them.

 

See that slot off to the side on that plate – it is for extra lubrication – it extends over an oil passage in the block.

Please note that oil passage on your block should be plugged – therefore that plug needs to be removed before this thrust plate is installed.

 

Personally I think I would return that timing set because they were useless with their instructions and Tech support.

 

I normally buy a Cloyes set.

Hi,

 

I bought an Edelbrock 7820 timing chain set to go on my 260 and the instructions say to remove the original cam thrust plate and spacer and replace it with Ford thrust plate  # C9OZ-6269-A.  These instructions do not explain WHY the plate needs to be replaced.  I called Edelbrock and the guy I spoke to was useless.  I pointed out that the Ford part number they listed appears to be obsolete and his response was to send me a link to Ebay where an old one is for sale.  I've found some other vendors that have replacements for this number.  Does anybody know why a different thrust plate would be required for the Edelbrock timing chain set?

 

Thanks,

Joe Brown
