Cast Iron Distributor Drive Gear for Ford 289 and 302 Engines [0.468 in. Shaft]
A distributor is only as accurate as the gear driving it, and a worn or mismatched gear will chew up a camshaft as well as scatter timing. This is the replacement cast iron gear for Ford 289 and 302 distributors with a 0.468 in. shaft, using the same ductile iron and surface treatment specification as the gears installed on new distributors.

- Fits Ford 289 and 302 distributors with a 0.468 in. shaft.
- Proprietary formulated ductile iron construction.
- Melonite QPQ coating reduces friction and initial wear.
- Increased outer hardened layer thickness at RC 55-60.
- Interstitial carbide concentration improves wear resistance.
- Micro polished surface for smooth contact.
Iron Gears
High grade iron and steel replacement gears for MSD distributors. Burnished for a smooth scuff-free finish and are machined from a proprietary, high density material.
Bronze Gears
Machined from quality AMPCO-45 aluminum bronze containing 5% nickel. This special material creates high strength gear teeth that are less prone to wear when used with high volume oil pumps.
