[DeTomaso] BILLET ROLLER CAM & Comp Cams Carbon-Poly-Composite Replacement Gear

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

RUSS, DR DAN, MIKET, D*CK,
   
  One of the drawbacks to a steel billet hyd roller cam and/or a HV oil pump is the need to regularly check and if necessary replace the bronze gear if you are racing....good news is they are cheap.  
   
  The bronze MSD billet steel distributor gear on my engine (shows slight wear) so its a good time to replace the gear while we have the car apart this winter waiting for the Mike Trusty EFI.  Is anyone on the List using a carbon-poly composite replacement distributor gear on their billet Comp Roller Cam???
   
  I didn't see a reference for the 351-C in the Comp Cams catalog online but doesn't mean one doesn't exist..... I tried using the replacement steel gear a local dyno shop recommended a couple years ago and that only proceeded in chewing up the billet cam....dumb ass mistake #479 as billet roller cams ain't cheap to replace.
