Dowel pin for exhaust camshaft
A locating dowel pin for the exhaust camshaft in the timing chest, keeping the cam correctly indexed to its timing gear.
70-4849 is a small dowel pin that locates the exhaust camshaft in the timing chest. It's a simple piece of hardware, but it does a job that matters: it keeps the cam and its timing pinion or auto-advance unit indexed correctly so the ignition and valve timing stay where they're supposed to be. This part shows up in the catalog under the legacy E4849 designation as well.

It turns up in the timing cover and contact breaker records as well as the crankshaft and connecting rod section, which tells you it's a small-parts item that gets grouped with the internals it locates rather than living in its own dedicated section. Given how small and inexpensive this piece is, it's easy to lose or damage during a strip-down, so it's worth having a spare on hand before you put the timing chest back together.
Our catalog record doesn't tie this pin to a specific model or year, so if you're matching it against your own parts book, give us a call and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
