Reply to "Double pinning distributor gear?"

accobraMember

So whats your thoughts on a slightly tapered solid pin thru the gear an shaft ? To hell with these roll pins. The hole has to be machined for the proper placement of the gear anyway and your trying to line it up with the existing HOLE ? Why not take this a step further ?

Also whats your thoughts on the new Polymer gear from Ford ?

I agree a after market solid pump drive shaft is the way to go .. because my pin sheared on my stock motor because of a small ring of permatex which must have been used on the threads of the pickup ?

Also there are some who believe the heavy viscosity oils 20W-50 play a role in the strain on the pin and gear ... today cars are running 5w-30 ... I have always had success in light weight oil high volume / high pressure pumps.
