[DeTomaso] Ignition truble

[Mike Vallee]

Hi Guys,

Comp Cams looks to have a No More Bronze Gears solution also...

What do you think Jack? Look like a solution? My MSD dist has a .530 shaft.

Thanks,

Pulled the distributor today and my problem was the same as yours Mike! The distributor gear was totaly worn down!

FWIW Joern, Ford/SVO now sells a steel distributor drive gear for 351Ws that I think will fit your roller cam Fontana. They also offer a polymer drive gear for steel cams. Measure the diameter of the gear, and the shaft. With this info, any Ford dealer can help; basic p/n is M-12390-(letter depending on the diameters & material). Either of these two will keep you from pumping bronze-loaded oil thru your high-buck engine. Good luck- J Deryke
