Distributor Gear Bronze .006in Oversize Chevy

The Distributor Gear Bronze .006in Oversize Chevy from MSD Ignition is a precision-engineered replacement component designed for Chevrolet engines requiring exact distributor timing control and gear tooth engagement. This bronze distributor gear serves as the critical interface between your engine's cam lobe and the distributor shaft, directly controlling ignition timing accuracy. Whether you're restoring a classic small-block or fine-tuning a modified big-block, selecting the correct distributor gear specification is essential to maintaining proper spark delivery and engine longevity.

The .006-inch oversize specification indicates this gear is machined to a tolerance of .006 inches above standard, addressing wear patterns common in high-mileage Chevrolet engines where original gear teeth have developed slight slack or backlash. Bronze material composition provides superior wear resistance compared to cast iron alternatives while minimizing distributor shaft wear, a critical consideration in performance applications or engines running extended service intervals. The precise tooth geometry ensures consistent cam-to-distributor synchronization, preventing timing drift that could cause detonation, rough idle, or spark advance inconsistencies across the RPM band.

Mechanics and engine builders trust MSD Ignition components for both stock restorations and high-performance builds, as this distributor gear directly impacts ignition system stability. Installation is straightforward on most Chevrolet engines, making it an ideal choice for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. Ensure your engine runs smoothly and efficiently with this high-quality distributor gear.
