RAWDEAL 222 Posted November 4, 2016 I bought a 289/302 Pro billet for my later model 5.0 thats in my xb... Not sure what dizzy gear to use as msd have a part for the 5.0 gear , also a part for the standard 302? I think then 5.0 gear might be different internal diameter? Also.. broze or steel?

RAWDEAL 222 Posted November 9, 2016 should be able to check your cam ? mine said i had to use a specific gear Im using the stock roller cam , the msd had a tag on it to say to use their steel gear for a roller cam their website is horseshit it has no info lol. my engine builder said the iron gear which came with the dizzy would have been fine anyways , so at least i can install the dizzy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BGDAV 1,873 Posted November 9, 2016 yea i know what u mean trying to find info on some of these parts are fkn impossible! id be tempted to go with what msd says tbh since the material on the cam may chew out the gear - can always change it later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brianj 48 Posted November 10, 2016 I've not had good luck with the bronze gears. They seem to wear out quickly. The steel gear on a roller cam lasts forever, that is what I'm running now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
