Dynamators Gear Wear & Reliability

[jonblob33]

Thanks for all the replies. I spoke to the person who rebuilt the distributor, who in turn spoke to one of our “ cherished” suppliers then rang me back to say”yes we have had lots of problems as the distributor end of the dynamater is out of line. Problems the same on our race car. It would appear to me that the gear is softer than it should be. I think 50yrs as an engineer qualifies me to make that judgment. If the end of the dynamater was wrongly machined damaged gears would be a big problem.
