Engine: Early 1954 235 6-cyl. with small cam journals Forged Steel camshaft. So, the distributor gear is hardened steel to match the cam. See: PIC http://i669.photobucket.com/albums/vv57/glp0329/DistributorDriveGearGMNOS_zpsfb522666.jpgI'd like to use this nos gear but don't want to hurt the fit on the distributor shaft. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank You, George | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | It looks like a protective coating more than rust. I would soak it in lacquer thinner than scrub with a brush and see how it comes out.
