AMC V8 Distributor/Cam gear update



Just thought I would share that I recieved a set of the new MSD gears to test with. MSD plans to market sets in the near future. Well, one is available now. Let me explain.

MSD is working to develop a matching Cam/Distributor gear set in Iron/Steel, and they also have already developed [ready for sale] a Bronze distributor gear.

The new prototype Iron gears look great. Everything looks to be correct. I have not yet measured anything. I do have a set of these going into a fresh rebuild in the next couple of weeks. There is also a possibility of a set going on a 450 H.P. 401 on the dyno.

In other news about the same type of gears, Crown automotive is also in progress of testing newly designed gears. A.J. of South Texas AMC was aproached just before Cordova about these but could not help in testing right then. I have spoken with Crown about this and they tell me they are indeed testing gears from another manufacturer.

I would like to thank MSD for giving me a shot at looking these parts over and welcome the honor of testing them. I will post the findings. MSD is hoping to provide these gears to the public in about 2 months if no problems arise during testing. Please do not jump on MSD about buying the parts, they are not available for sale as of now. Well, with the exception of the Bronze unit. Sorry, I cannot supply a price as the Bronze gears just came in with the prototype parts and there was no invoice.

Regards,
Ramble on,

Randy Guynn
