When I was young. I had an Uncle that worked at Ford. He was an engineer with development. I asked him why the timing order change. He told me, the 289 order causes a load on the front main bearing, you cannot hear it. When the 351 came out, it produced a front main knock that was slightly audible. So they made the change. When the 5.0 came out the front knock was picked up by knock sensors and kept retarding the timing. They made the change with the firing order and released the 5.0 to the market.

Does anyone know if the 1970 Mustang 24" fan shroud, fit a 24" champion radiator ?
Thanks

Muzz, I might be able to help you. I'm in the middle of installing the Borgeson in my 66 with a Saginaw pump. I made my own hoses. Mabe I can make you a hose.

Mustangs Plus sells poly spacers for that purpose

Bob,  I plumbed my F&R Cobra brakes last August and found my rear calipers had 10 X 1.5 banjo bolts.  I'm not disputing George, just pointing out that your calipers may vary.  It took me countless trips to finally get all those little parts right. 

Take the calipers to the parts store to verify banjo bolt size. 

Sorry my bad. They are 1.5 thread 10 mm dia.
 

I think I see your problem. The cylinder drop bracket appears to be pulling out of the frame. This could account for more travel 1 way.

The long shaft aod I used in my 66, came from a 1988 Lincoln mark vii. If you want a short shaft look for a mustang or t-bird. With a 5.0

The cam bolt may have backed out allowing the eccentric to loosen.

I have 2 cross members along with the converted 66 shifter and cable. I can send you pics.
What timing cover you looking for, I have both .

Do you have room for a Dremel with an angle attachment and a cut off wheel ?
