Reply to "Distributor Gear"

bosswrenchMember

Cam companies regard roller cams as race parts, and bronze distributor gears are easier/cheaper to grind than steel, so they supply these. There are two possibilities that I know of: 1)- some cam grinders will lathe off the front cam journal & gear, and press on a stock cast iron front end to your steel cam, allowing you to run a stock cast iron distributor drive gear. 2)- Crane Cams has very recently come out with a composite distributor gear that was tested in Busch racing, on steel cams, for a full year without wear. It's not clear how many engine types they offer it for, besides the belly-button 350 Chev. Besides that, bronze is the only other choice- about every 2000 miles.
