Product Overview
A carbureted Ford build can have a good mechanical pump and still receive no fuel if the cam eccentric is missing after an EFI conversion, installed backward, or worn through. This eccentric rides on the cam sprocket and strokes the pump lever as the cam turns.
The eccentric does not fit every Ford engine or aftermarket timing set. One-piece and two-piece designs, cam bolts, dowels, sprocket thickness, timing-cover clearance, and pump-arm geometry must agree.
Identify the engine and timing set, confirm mechanical-pump provisions, and compare the eccentric diameter, offset, bolt, and dowel arrangement before assembly.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application that is not shown above. Model year, production date, serial number, engine or equipment specification, installed options, and previous repairs can change fitment. Match the original part, reference number, dimensions, connectors, mounting points, and product photos before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this fix a mechanical pump that does not move fuel? A: Yes, if the pump lever is not being stroked because the eccentric is missing or damaged; the pump and lines still need testing.
Q: Does it fit every 5.0L engine? A: No. Many later EFI engines and aftermarket timing sets use different hardware or no mechanical-pump provision.
Q: Is it installed outside the timing cover? A: No. It mounts at the cam sprocket inside the timing cover and contacts the fuel-pump lever.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
