Just tore down the front of the engine yesterday (took off timing cover) b/c of my recent little hole in my timing cover...turns out that my one piece eccentrical was put in in the wrong place and it got caught and made a nice big mess out of my cam gear and got caught between the crank gear and the chain...ouch...so i got a new set in mind...its called a zoom with adjustable timing for advancing or retarding the timing...should i leave the car as is or should i advance or retard..i have an88 mustang gt with maf, 19 lb inj, stock tb, edelbrock performer rpm intake, stock head but a b-303 cam...any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
PROGRESS!!

it's built for speed not longevity, woman
i say you should leave it at stock. jus tinstal it straight up. with no more mods than you have you will never notice a difference.

well uk those ovals that are in the cam timing gear.....yeah i put the piece that stuck out about a half inch on the eccentrical in the oval.....DUMB....it snapped off and this is what happend...ouch btw obv mine is fuel injec. n i shouldn't have to use the eccentric bc i have an electric fuel pump but if i take out the broken eccentric i will need a washer...well there was only a piece that got broke so im using the eccentric as a spacer (washer) sigh so im still waitin on my timing gear and chain set yet.... ill put a pic on here
