Detailed Description

This Cloyes timing set is engineered for engines that need dependable valve timing and the ability to fine-tune camshaft position. The billet crankshaft sprocket uses three keyways to provide +/- 4 degrees of adjustment, with maximum advance or retard at the camshaft listed at 2 degrees. The double roller chain and metal sprockets support consistent timing accuracy in performance-oriented Ford and Mercury builds. Part number C-3054X is also referenced as 103054X for the same application.

Compatible With select 1963-1985 Ford and Mercury vehicles, including Ford Mustang, Ford F-100, Ford Bronco, Mercury Cougar, and Mercury Grand Marquis applications listed in the fitment data. This part number, C-3054X, is a direct timing set option for engines that require a heavy duty speed set configuration with a one-piece fuel pump eccentric noted in the fitment details.

What It Helps Address

• Timing chain stretch that can affect cam timing accuracy
• Worn sprockets that reduce valve train consistency
• Need for cam timing adjustment during engine setup
• Performance builds requiring a double roller timing chain
• Replacement of an aging engine timing set in Ford and Mercury V8 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify engine configuration and fuel pump eccentric style before installation.
