Cloyes C-3029X Engine Timing Set

Engine Timing Set for Ford and Mercury V8 Applications

The Cloyes C-3029X engine timing set is built for classic Ford and Mercury applications that use a double roller chain setup. It features a billet crankshaft sprocket with three keyways for +/- 4 degrees of adjustability, plus a heat-treated sprocket for added durability.

Key Features

• Billet crankshaft sprocket with three keyways for timing adjustment
• +/- 4 degrees of adjustability for cam timing setup
• Heat-treated sprocket for improved durability
• 0.200 inch double row fixed bushing chain
• Fits heavy-duty timing set applications with double roller chain requirements

Detailed Description

The Cloyes C-3029X timing set is intended for a wide range of Ford and Mercury V8 engine applications from 1963 through 1977. It is a direct-fit engine timing set for vehicles such as the Ford Mustang, Ford F-100, Ford F-250, and Mercury Cougar, with fitment notes calling for a double roller chain and a heavy-duty speed set configuration. The three-keyway sprocket design gives the installer a practical way to fine-tune cam timing during engine assembly or rebuild work. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 103029X) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or stretched timing set
• Restoring accurate camshaft-to-crankshaft timing
• Setting up performance or rebuild timing adjustments
• Addressing chain slack or timing instability in older engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With Ford and Mercury V8 applications listed in the fitment data. Review the notes for each vehicle before installation, since many listings specify no cam nose spacer requirement and a double roller chain configuration. Verify sprocket alignment and timing marks during assembly, and confirm the selected keyway position before final engine startup. Fits 1963-1977 Ford and Mercury applications, N/A.

Quality Assurance

Cloyes designs timing components for engine service and rebuild use, and this set uses a heat-treated sprocket plus a fixed bushing chain construction for added durability in demanding applications.
