My cousin just bought a new timing cover for his 88 lx with a 302. The 2 pins that stick out from the block are alot bigger than the holes that are drilled into the timing cover. Im certian the cover is the right one, says 74-93 5.0&5.8 repoduction. Other than the two pins it looks like it will fit fine. Any ideas? Maybe drill out the holes in the cover, or cut the pins off, defective part? Thanks for any help.
