Is there anyway the a loose dowel could change the timing. In other words does the dowel ensure the camshaft sprocket stays where it is supposed to. The reason I ask is I hated, loathed, my electric fuel pump and wanted to go mechanical but the dowel was to short. I called eddlebrock and they told me to send the cam to them and they would install the longer dowel, if I were to do it I would mess up the timing. Who is correct, non issue as of now for me since i have a mechanical fuel pump but always wondered.
