DIY Timing Chain Wedge

[07stangcs]

Well here ya go. Hard to believe Ford can charge up to $200 for something so simple. Used a scrap piece of wood,Stock Antenna and back up string. Drilled out the end and threaded the antenna into it. Used alittle JB weld in there to give extra hold. Also drilled a small hole in side of wedge and tied a string throught it. This was just back up protection just in case the antenna came out. Pretty simple and it works awesome.

Sorry my camera sux!!!

LOL!

Did you really use that? So I guess the motto for cam install is "so easy a caveman could do it!"

I'm going to be installing my Hot Rods in a few weeks and I plan on making my own thing for the wedge. Not sure what I'm going to use yet.

Use a 2' piece garden hose stuffed with newspaper. Shove it done in there. That's another way.

Ford only charges $75 for the timing wedge and I don't have any wood cutting tools soo...

$75 is WAY too much for what it is. A little bit of wire and a plastic triangle...
