Distributor Gears – Precision Timing Starts Here
Distributor gears are a critical link between your engine’s camshaft and ignition system, ensuring that your spark timing stays accurate and reliable throughout the RPM range. Whether you’re running a street machine, race engine, or high-volume oil pump setup, the right distributor gear makes all the difference in performance and longevity.
We offer a wide selection of distributor gears in a variety of materials and sizes to match your specific camshaft requirements—including steel, iron, and bronze gears. From standard OEM replacements to oversized and high-strength performance gears, each option is designed to deliver proper mesh, reduce wear, and protect both your cam and distributor shaft.
Common Applications:
- Performance and racing engines with specialty steel or billet cams
- High-volume oil pump setups requiring stronger, wear-resistant materials
- Engines with worn distributor holes requiring oversized gear options
- Street builds needing a durable, OE-style replacement
Choose the Right Material:
- Steel Gears – For billet steel cams (usually with a melonized finish)
- Cast Iron Gears – Compatible with most factory flat-tappet and hydraulic roller cams
- Bronze Gears – Required for many aftermarket steel race cams; ideal for high oil pressure engines
Maintain timing accuracy, reduce gear wear, and protect your engine investment with the right distributor gear for your build.

Precision Starts at the Gear
When you’re chasing perfect timing, mechanical precision matters. The MSD Oversize Bronze Distributor Gear (+0.006″) is built for Chevy V8 engines using camshafts that require a bronze gear—particularly in racing or high-performance builds with high-volume oil pumps.This gear is CNC-machined from premium AMPCO 45 aluminum bronze, a material containing 5% nickel to increase tooth strength and wear resistance. The result: long-lasting durability and stable timing, even under the stress of aggressive valvetrain setups.
