Gotcha! I will be buying one now. Who sells them?

Any chance this is common with the MSD Pro Billets?



As far as who sells them, I got it when I worked at a fastener distirbutor but you should se able to find them at Granger or Fastenall or any hardware store. I believe it's 1/2" shaft diameter, measure yours to be sure, it was many years ago when I did this.

Big Cube very good pics of that issue!
I will check that.
Although my gear engagement is in the middle like a ring & pinion.
Thanks,
Don

I actually sell them with the correct size I.D. The distributor shafts are not 1/2". Sure, a standard 1/2" collar will tighten down, but....

Darn i feal like the wise guy pointing at the moone and everybody is looking at my pointing finger.... The gear cut is not lineing up either in the cam or the drive pin gear ! The wear pattern tells the tale and the more you thing about it the more shore you will be

That is what they do when the bushing in the block is bad. Is there excessive clearance between the shaft and the bushing?

I have also askt about that in this subjekt if you reed my posts like a qestion if the bushing or shaft have mutch wear ! But then it must be pretty mutch to get that pattern as the shaft then will be forceŽd out of center It could be ofcorse !
