Received this from Randy: >Crown has now received a fresh batch of AMC V8 Cam Gears. The other gears they were selling were recalled. This new batch of gears is now what is available from Crown. Same manufacturer as before, but properly heat treated. As for how these are going to perform only time will tell. also MSD still says they are going to start shipping Cam & Distributor gears any day. I know for a Fact that MSD units are made in USA. Crown pieces are imported so the gears are not coming from the same source. MSD gears are said to be made by the original manufacturer of the original AMC pieces.
