According to Ford parts online, the secondary cam gears for the 96-97 cobra intake cams have been discontinued.

So now I have to grind the keyways down on the cams so they fit. Thanks for letting me know before hand all the Cobra cam gurus! I started this project last Friday. So looking like it is going to take a week to finish since i had to wait on cam bolts which were different, and now the cam secondary gears. ARGGHH
there was a WHOLE thread about this issue, thats why people were buying the adjustable cloyes gears.
