IMO, the hardly noticeable offset was one of Ford's lousier ideas to avoid being 180° out. It woulda been better to risk being 180° out with no offset.

Or maybe just something simple like a keyed shaft. The offset is only 1/16 of an inch - pretty easy to screw that up (especially if the engine is still in the car). The good news - you usually only make that mistake once . . . usually!
