Mine came with the cam shaft eccentric for a mechanical fuel pump installed even though it has an electric fuel pump. The timing cover is also set up to accommodate a mechanical fuel pump, it just has a cover plate where the pump would go.

Instead of the eccentric "rubbing" on the fuel pump arm, it actually turned against that outside ring. The outside ring stayed stationary as it was against the fuel pump arm, so the fuel pump arm did not have any place where it could wear from the eccentric sliding or rubbing against it.
It seems on engines that did not come with a fuel pump, Ford just used the center piece of the eccentric like a big washer to hold the cam sprocket in place.
