66 Coupe
289 bored .30 over
351 firing order
cam specs - D302-6250-A???
i'm driving along a few days ago and suddenly my motor isn't giving its full power so immediately i know i need to get off the freeway and hopefully baby her till i get home. with no such luck, the ol' girl gives out and i get towed home. i get home and immediately pull the cap off and spin the motor by hand and the rotor no longer spins. i pull off a valve cover and spin the motor again and the valves are moving so at least i know its not the chain. so thinking the only thing left is the distributor gear and am planning on stopping by the local speed shop and pick up a new dizzy but what type of gear would i need?? iron, steel or bronze? the specs are all above all work done to the motor were done by the previous owner so i really dont know what cam is in there except for the little info i put up found from some paperwork given to me when i bought the car.
also, if the gear is stripped pretty bad, do i need to pull the motor?
