Fuel Issue

[rads410]

Wow talk about Lucky!    That could have been complete destruction of the engine. I would change the oil, and filter after a few hundred miles. As all that metal form the inside of the front cover. Had to go somewhere, I assume the shop changed the oil when  they did the repair?    If not it needs to be done immediately!!!! Then changed again in a few hundred miles. You dodged the bullet the first time. An second oil change is cheap insurance, compared to a set of scored rod bearings. 

Hope it helps

Thanks JTS

Yes, they changed the oil and cleaned all the metal shards from the oil pan. Unfortunately I took it out over this past weekend and had a similar experience, fuel starved, no power, stalling etc.. I think may be the same issue not appropriately addressed the first time. Frustrating! At least its winter and not summer with car shows! Need to get it figured out. being towed back to garage. The guys fixing it have a long history of taking care of older mustangs like my Mach 1. They seem reasonable, and knowledgeable. But i think it wasn't fixed right the first time.
Thanks for the advice

Wow, if it's the same issue. It has to be the bolt which secures the cam gear along with the fuel pump eccentric to the camshaft itself. If that has come loose twice??? I'd look at the treads in the camshaft itself to see if the are damaged in any way? Also check the locating pin to be sure it's not damaged or the hole it goes in. Then look at the bolt itself. It should have been replaced the first time. For sure replace it, and put some red Lock Tite on it. As it sure as heck shouldn't have come out in the first place. Somethings futched up as this is a problem I've never seen, unless there are some mismatched parts, or something like that. Good Luck I hope they find it, and fix it right this time.
