Distributor Gear Polymer .530in SBF 289 302

The COMP CAMS Distributor Gear Polymer .530in SBF 289 302 is a carbon ultra-poly composite replacement for small block Ford timing systems. This distributor gear is engineered to provide reliable ignition timing control in SBF engines, specifically designed for the 289 and 302 cubic inch displacements. The black polymer construction offers reduced wear characteristics compared to traditional steel gears, extending the lifespan of both the distributor shaft and cam shaft drive components while maintaining precise timing geometry.

The 0.530-inch shaft diameter specification is the OEM standard for small block Ford distributor applications, ensuring direct fitment without modification. COMP CAMS' ultra-poly composite material is engineered to run cooler than conventional steel gears, which reduces thermal expansion and helps maintain consistent ignition timing throughout extended driving sessions. The softer polymer composition also absorbs vibration more effectively, protecting the entire ignition system from premature wear and gear noise that can develop in stock applications over time.

This gear is ideal for restorations, rebuilds, and performance upgrades of small block Ford engines where original equipment has suffered tooth wear or chipping. Whether you're refreshing a vintage 289 or modernizing a 302-powered classic, this COMP CAMS component ensures proper distributor function and accurate spark delivery to all eight cylinders. Mechanics and engine builders rely on this gear as a direct replacement during distributor overhauls or complete ignition system upgrades on SBF platforms.

Small block Ford distributors remain a cornerstone of classic and performance automotive builds. The COMP CAMS polymer gear option strikes a balance between durability and cost-effectiveness, offering longevity without the premium pricing of specialty materials. This distributor gear is the direct OEM equivalent for 289 and 302 applications and maintains the exact original geometry required for proper engine operation and ignition curve accuracy.
