[DeTomaso] Steel distributor gears for 351C

[forestg at att.net]

 This distributor also fits the 385 series engines so there would probably be a market for them.

> Since there is apparently no currently available source for steel
> distributor gears for the 351C, I have approached a gear manufacturer to cut
> a steel gear for my engine since I am going with a roller cam and do not
> wish to use a bronze or cast iron gear due to projected wear and longevity.
> In order to have these made at a reasonable price, I will have to have a
> quantity of at least 50, or preferably 100, made. Should this occur, I will
> have a large quantity for sale to others needing the gear. They have reverse
> engineered the gear and it will be the equivalent of the gear previously
> made by Crane, and will be the same hardness and present the same wear
> characteristics. The projected price of the gear will be $70.00-$75.00. 
> My question is whether there is a requirement for this gear to fill the void
> of availability. Anyone need one or two?
