Distributor Gear Iron AMC V8

The MSD Ignition Distributor Gear Iron AMC V8 (MPN 8005) is a precision-engineered replacement component designed for classic AMC V8 engines requiring a reliable distributor drive system. This iron gear features black melonized finish for corrosion resistance and is engineered to handle the demands of high-performance ignition systems where precise timing synchronization is critical to engine performance and reliability.

Built with a 0.491-inch shaft diameter, this distributor gear integrates directly into your AMC V8's ignition drive train, maintaining the exact tolerances required for consistent spark delivery across all cylinders. The iron construction provides durability under sustained engine operation, while the melonized finish resists oxidation and extends component lifespan in engine bay environments. MSD Ignition's engineering ensures that timing accuracy—critical for fuel efficiency, throttle response, and overall engine health—remains stable across varying RPM ranges and load conditions.

This gear is ideal for AMC V8 engine builders, restoration specialists, and performance enthusiasts upgrading or rebuilding distributor systems on classic muscle cars, hot rods, and vintage truck platforms. Whether restoring original ignition functionality or installing aftermarket MSD ignition systems that demand OEM-grade drive components, this gear delivers the precision fit and material integrity that prevents distributor slippage and timing drift. Sold as a single unit, it's a direct replacement for worn or damaged distributor gears in applications where distributor reliability directly impacts engine operation.
