Y'all

I am removing the loud gear drive from my 283 cam and converting it back to stock chain drive is there any thing I need to watch out for?

Depending on the type of set-up, you might have some problem lining up the pulleys.Should not be too much problem.
On your new chain and rear set, just make sure you have the #1 cylinder at TDC and line up the timing marks on the gears.
Should be fine unless you get into degreeing the cam.

WHat are you going to do with the gear drive set-up????

Yes.

People running up your driveway trying to get you to sell it to them at what they think is a good price.

Just make sure it was just a gear drive setup(4 gears) if it has 2 gears you need to change the cam and the dist gear ,cause it is a reverse rotation cam. wink

Thanks for the help! It was a 4 gear set up and I swapped it to a friend that works at part store for stock parts etc. Gave him a deal for his 55 Chevy hot rod now he owes me. LOL

especially since the stock set-up goes for around $15.00 and the gear drive set goes
for $125.(new)
