Reply to "COMPOSITE DIZZY GEARS"

George is correct.

Just got off the phone with Crane and they said that I would be lucky to get 1200 miles out of the bronze gear. Crane said that I should have used the steel gear PN 52971-1 (.531 dia). I told them that when I got the roller cam from Summit they recommended the bronze gear. He said that they should not have. Summit is backordered on the steel Crane gear but they have 3 Ford Racing steel gears PN FMS-M-12390-J, I ordered 1. I've got 40 miles on my engine now and things run great. The next problem is that I have 2 holes drilled in the dist shaft so I'm going to have to try to line up the steel gear with one of the existing holes. Crane said that I will see bronze shavings in my oil, even with only 40 miles. I glad you guys brought up this problem befor I was stuck somewhere with a big tow bill.
