You could but due to the large open area, I would be worried about it coming off the eccentric and hitting something or getting hung up in the chain and damaging the engine, or more importantly, your finger.

I think you might be thinking of something like a small block Chevy that uses a pushrod between the eccentric and the arm on the pump. The small black Chrysler is not like that, the arm on the pump is what the eccentric operates.

This may be impossible, but I'd try seeing inside the timing cover with a mirror. That may "shine a light" on things.

There is a woodruff key (like what goes in crank snout to keep a harmonic balancer from spinnin on the crankshaft) on the end of the camshaft. The end of the camshaft has a threaded boss, a large washer goes on to hold the eccentric into place and a bolt in the end of the cam holds the washer...
