Reply to "composite or melonized distributor gear?"

davidnunnMember

I had a carbon ultra-poly gear from Tri-Tec and had zero trouble with it; however, installation is not trivial. You must set the height of the gear on the distributor shaft, as per Ford’s procedure. Ford says every dist. gear should have its height set. The poly gears come with a hole that may be too large for some distributor shafts. I had to special order one with a smaller hole, then ream it to size. The interference fit of the gear on the distributor shaft must be perfect. “Perfect” for a poly gear is a different spec. than you would use with a steel, iron or bronze gear. Once you go through all of this, the poly gears are stronger than steel but more forgiving than bronze. That’s why ALL of the NASCAR teams use them.
