On vehicles with mechanical spark timing, the distributor gear sits at the bottom of the distributor’s shaft, where it meshes with the gear on the camshaft. This gear can wear out over time, or you might need one that’s compatible with a new camshaft. To maintain proper timing, grab your new distributor gear right here at Summit Racing Equipment!
Distributor gears are available in four different materials: composite (light, durable, and soft), bronze (for use with billet steel cams), cast iron (for use with cast iron, flat tappet cams), and melonized or hardened steel (the hardest material, used for OEM replacements). For a more complete explanation of the materials and their compatibility, check out our Help Center article.

MSD puts their years of experience to work in making these top-notch iron distributor gears. Their high grade, ductile iron is micro polished for a smooth and scuff-free finish then Melonite QPC coated to reduce friction and initial wear. Excessive clearance causes timing fluctuation throughout the rpm range, resulting in lost horsepower, so MSD also designed these oversized gears for tighter mesh between the camshaft and distributor drive gears.
