I ignorantly put in a Cardone distributor and the gear that's spun by the cam sheared off after about a month of driving. I get on it at least every other day so I'm not surprised the cheap material that dizzy gear is likely made of didn't hold up.

Where should I look to find a more proper distributor? I need one with a more durable gear on the distributor.

I have a trickflow cam to the best of my knowledge, something like a 512/498 lift. Ideas?

Thanks!

Same here

hydraulic roller cam, trick flow

thinks it needs a steel gear for distributor

where might i pick up a new/rebuilt distributor with steel gear?

just a guess, but maybe the local auto parts store.

There is nothing wrong with a Cardone dizzy.

mtoliverjr

none of em have steel gears at the local shops. napa and the autozone/oreilly specials are all frail materials

If the autoparts store dizzy/motorcraft dizzy isn't good enough... maybe you have other problems.

Or you got a faulty dizzy.

If you want to drop unnecessary money on a dizzy go look at MSD or Mallory.

my original dizzy with an MSD cap and rotor works great.
