I thought I heard something on a bronze gear or something??? Wrong??

 

Come on, someone knows this!!

 

You will have to change the gear on the distributor to the bronze one if the cam is earlier than 1985.

 

Ok, in design or make? It is a comp cams 292H. Purchased in 2000.

 

The type number "292H" and purchase date are not important. The 292H is a Street/Strip fairly radical cam that can be built for almost any year model vehicle. You need to find out what year and engine the cam was ordered/purchased for. This will determine which distributor gear is needed. You can call the Comp Cams hotline at 800-999-0853 or visit there webb site at; www.compcams.com They are very user friendly and helpful. Maybe not the answer you're looking for, but based on the info at hand, that's the best I can do.

 

You can use a distributor which has an IRON gear with most flat tappet cams, and even GM's TPI roller cams, as they are induction hardened and not billet steel.

A cam that is billet steel requires a bronze gear.

The newer iron gears GM made were for the different size distribut shaft. In the late 90's there was a close tolerance gear, and it was replaced with a harder verion for the vortec engines with high volume pumps.

So, yes you can use a 1990 dist. with an older, non-billet steel cam.

Mark.
