Or was the timing chain and timing gears not one of Fords better Ideas? You decide.
Dunno why you are picking on Ford on this one. Ford was just one of a few who used nylon-coated teeth on their camshaft gear. Yes, I remember doing a '79 Lincoln that had a failed nylon camshaft gear, but I also remember one on a '71 Chevy Impala. That Impala was owned by me and it had a factory-installed 402 big block. Heading to work one day and when when I slowed down to turn, the oil light came on. Oil light went out when I revved it up, and being about a 1/4 mile from work, I kept driving until I got it to the shop. By that time, the lifters were clicking. Pulled the oil pan and the oil pickup tube was plugged with the nylon from the camshaft gear. Pulling the timing cover, the camshaft gear was worn worn down to the steel nubs, even though the engine still ran. A new timing chain, camshaft gear, crankshaft gear, along with a new oil pump for good measure, fixed it and I put on many more thousands of miles. Supposedly nylon camshaft gears were used to quiet down an engine, but my auto mechanics instructor in tech school challenged anyone to listen to an engine and positively identify an engine that had a nylon gear verses an engine that had a steel gear. No takers. NOT just a Ford idea.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
