Re: Estate Sale 427 Tear Down
Nylon timing gear -- there was a theory the nylon gear would not transmit crankshaft torsional vibrations to the cam ... rumor is Da' Grump ran nylon gears.
Maybe someone else here nows different of more on this ... TAZ

Re: Estate Sale 427 Tear Down
earntaz, i have heard different on the nylon gear. Jerry MacNeish the Camaro expert told me to stay away from these nylon gear spockets. When they failed its lights out for the motor. I use the steel gears for peace of mind. I had a factory set and sold them on ebay. I personally wouldnt use one.

Re: Estate Sale 427 Tear Down
Same here. You're talking about half century old plastic. It is way beyond its useable life span even for an NOS sprocket.
