Camshaft spacer CODZ 6265-A

[drag-200stang]

Sorry I messed up I found 23 available for the 223 on the web, but none for the 144 170 200 250. with a G search, Is this the part number right.
At least we can see if some pop up with the right part number CODZ 6265-A

 

[frozenrabbit]

Seems to be the correct part number to me. I have one on hand and the dimensional specs match up. 1.010 ID - 1.36 OD - .165 Thick

I don't see where they are available for sale.

In the ford cam assy drawing I have that part is numbered 6265. So it looks promising. I don't have the parts list that accompanies the drawing. That part number is the same for all cam spacers, but the prefix is the specific engine qualifier afaict. That number is not in the reference I have, but I can say it's not for a 223, 292, 352, 390, 406, 427, 221, 260 or 289. Those all have a different prefix. I have a another manual, econoline specific, that might have it, I'll look when I get a chance later.

You are right, they are not available...I accidentally searched C2AZ 6265-A , that is for the 223.

It's curious; some engine finishing kits include these and some don't. Pioneer brand for instance.

Can you post up a link of a kit that has one ?

 

[sixtseventwo4d]

What I saw was at headbolts.com. It is for a 240-300 and no good to you. It's a dura-bond part number. I coulnd't find one kit in the catalogue or online look-up. but if i punch in the given part # from the headbolts sight; viola it comes up. (for the 240-300) The ford part number doesn't seem to cross either. So if someone may have saved an old paper catalogue like the ones back in the day; or from a machine shop/supply you may just get somewhere
Which is why I was referring; why some offer it for some engines and some dont. Apologies for added confusion
Pioneer used to offer these little items of inconvenience, a galley plug kit, dowels and freeze plugs, Etc. Along with some external pieces; timing covers, pans, balancers.

To help your search engine; it's C0DZ-

Just to follow up it was just 6265 in the econoline reference book.

Seth? those guys measurin? testin? don't look like their assemblin...
(well, may B spot welds?)

Choose a bumper?

I think they're welding it up on that jig. They're uni-bodies. Looks like they're taking a break.

I'm going to "foose" mine Not the full on though, more like the 65-67 front bumper minus a skosh. It'll still do it's job and stick out *just beyond the rest of the sheet metal. The early pre 65 front bumpers stick out at least 3" more than they need to on either side. It was to protect the goofy aux lights they put on govt rigs or so I've been told. On a brighter note for the earlies, the 61-64 rear van bumpers and 61-67 e-truck rear bumpers are where it's at. The 65-67 rear van bumpers suck.

 

[chad]

So you'll cut off 1.5 inch near each end and weld the ends back on?

OK, the pic shows completion of bod which is laid over the pan or tub a la` monocoque or unibody.

I still think we have to make the wedding rings ourselves. Go fer yer 3D print and pass them out to folks we think will make a doz or doz'n a 1/2...? (like Asa?)...

yes welding the Econoline body / chassis togeather. When I worked at The Ford assembly plant I used to like to go watch the 1974 / 75 Thunderbird body's being spot welded tigeather. It was totally automated with robotic welding, the quarter panels, roof, firewall, all other panels came down the line and went into the aliamment jig without being touched in about 90 seconds the completed body was welded and rolled out the other end, it was fascinating to watch.

 

[Econoline]

Yeah Chad, but probably more like 3". Sorry for the off topic bumper talk guys.

I love that picture Bubba, it's neat. I would have loved to see them welding up chassis back in the day.

Thanks Econoline, I had also had the opportunity in 1955 (1956 Ford Models) at the old Long Beach Ca. Plant. and again in 1962 (1963 Ford Models) of going to that same Ford assembly plant on school field trips / tours Pico Rivera, Ca seeing how some of those old Fords were put togeather. I wonder if they still do those kind of tours? Had no idea I would some day would work there at the Pico Rivera Plant, yes it was interesting to see all the processes they used, and how quickly those guys could align a door, full front clip, fender or hood they had some excellent skills. Since it was an assembly only plant most everything was all ready built and shipped in like the engines, transmissions, axles, frames, even the stamped body panels came in by the train car loads. The Big Fords and Thunderbird's we assembled their body's from those stamped parts, prepped and painted everything, then installed all the parts at a rate of about 1 car per minute rolling off the line. I worked on the Station Wagion body assembly area, if they needed someone to go fill in at other areas of the plant I would do that too. Edited

That's funny, I grew up in Wabash, IN. My country high school was about 15 miles from the Fisher Body plant in Marion and we toured that in 9th grade. It was fun. I still remember the different things we saw in there. That was circa 1988.

I made a mistake on that 1955 Ford field trip above and had to edited it, that would have been to the oldler Ford Long Beach plant just a few years before it was closed down and production was then moved over to Pico Rivera.

That's Interesting Econoline we traveled in the same circles during different times. Calif had almost all the different car makers during the 1920's, 1930's, 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, 1970's and later and because the auto market was so large in ?California it became the second largest area for car and truck assembly behind Detroit. I think Ford had started building the Model T''s back in Calif in 1911 and closed their last plant in 1984 in Milpitas, Ca. One by one the SoCal plants started closing for good in the early 1980's to early 1990's. I think the only Ca. plant still operating is the Tesla plant and Elon Musk recently said that he wants to move out of Calif too.
