MSD Distributor Drive Gear P/N:85833

$198.99

Description

Keep the distributor turning true with the MSD Distributor Drive Gear 85833, a steel drive gear designed for use with a roller cam and machined with a 0.468 in. ID. It's listed for many 1968-1985 Ford, Mercury and Lincoln applications — including the Ford Bronco, F-100, F-150, Mustang, Galaxie 500 and Torino, plus the Mercury Cougar and Lincoln Versailles — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

The drive gear meshes with the camshaft gear to turn the distributor shaft; a worn or chipped gear can cause ignition timing scatter, distributor noise, or metal debris in the oil. MSD develops its gears through extensive metallurgy, heat-treating and coating testing, using a special alloy treated with a low-friction coating for an easy break-in period and reliable performance.

Hardened outer layer: increased thickness rated RC 55-60.
Micro-polished surface: for smooth contact.
Melonite QPQ coating: reduces friction and initial wear.
Interstitial carbide: improves wear resistance and running properties.
