Ok if OD on can gear is the same(did you also compare width of the ends of the teeth?) as another it is either the dissy gear OR the position of the distributor mounting hole in the block!! Well or the cam centerline!blykins wrote: ↑Wed Mar 14, 2018 5:52 pm The plot thickens....
I did have another cam here for a BBF. I measured the OD and the width and compared it to the one that's in the Eliminator block. Exact same specs.
At this point, I'm just gonna whack some off of the distributor gear for giggles. If that doesn't work, then I'm gonna go belt drive.
The cam gear does go extremely deep in the dissy gear so even if you got it to turn I'd be worried about gear life.
Belt drive or crank wheel looking good ...
