Hi guys, I'm new here. This is the best AMC site I have ever seen. I have a 76 CJ5 with a stock 75 401 in it. Just bought one of those HEI dist. and it came with its own gear on the dist. shaft. After reading this thread I thought it might be a good thing to replace the new gear with the original. Any input on this?
If your original is good, you should use it, IMHO.

Just make sure you have the same tooth count on drive and dizzy gears. I've read there have been 2 different sets out there. I haven't gone through the entire "AMC Oiling" thread, but I'm sure it's there...
As well as other threads like THIS

Up in the woods on vacation last week, with my granddaughter yet, and the cam gear munched. Been a long time, thought I had it licked. Got everything home now, but it was a long weekend going back and forth to pick up the Heep and the travel trailer. So it's broke agin, what now? Another set of gears, and a lot of hoping? Or a SBC? Ya, I know, blasphemy, but I gotta be able to depend on this thing more than I feel I can right now.

Question. There is a dimple or indicator in the end face of a few sets of AMC Oil Pump Gears that I have. Is the purpose of these dimples that they should be aligned with one another when installing the Gears into the cavity in the Timing Cover since this is were they have been matched ?
Question. I measured the shaft length from the top face of the gear, not including the gear itself, to the distributor drive end on a couple Oil Pump Gears. One is 4.823", the other 4.812". Are these within what is know to be the proper dimension. Might one know the "blue print" dimemsion and the tolerance for this measurement ?
Reading all this good information can drive one mad if they're not careful.
