FE Stock Shaft Steel Distributor Gears

[blykins]

I currently need about 10 steel distributor gears for a .467" distributor shaft but Crane quit making theirs and no one else offers one that I can find. 

Does anyone know of any other offering out there?  Has to be steel....no bronze....

I can have some made, but it's a minimum order of (100) and that's a big step to take.

Brent,  Holley / MSD lists one under the 289 / 302 listing that fits 360 and 390.  .468 ID.  Part # 85833.

I don't see anywhere in the MSD catalog that PN 85833 will fit the FE distributor.  I have always been under the impression that there was a difference in gear depth/thickness, or pitch between the SBF and FE.  Am I missing something?  I am willing to learn something new if so.  Joe-JDC

The 351C/460 distributor gear will interchange with an FE, but the Windsors won't.

Pretty sure the 351C 460 distributor gear is the larger diameter, 0.531"

I need steel....not cast iron.

Need steel gear for stock Ford distributor shafts that are .467", not aftermarket shaft size like MSD which is .531".   Joe-JDC

I've got a couple of good leads.   Will circle back in a bit.

An undrilled MSD steel gear can be any size you need.  Maybe that's the shortest path to your goal?

How about some kinda bushing. 

[jayb]

+1 on what Keith said, wouldn't be that hard to put a bushing in there...

[turbohunter]

What’s the cost of having them made?

[blykins]

I'm going to explore the bushing route for now. 

I'll open up AutoCAD in the morning, draw something up, and get a quote to have some made.  I'll have enough made to do us all for awhile.
