1925 Buick 54T - Looking for cam drive gear

This could be what you need on Ebay. It is at a reasonable price too; they are getting really hard to find. 1924-1925-1926-1927-1928 BUICK Vintage Timing Gear NOS! - eBay (item 380226797480 end time Dec-17-10 17:47:48 PST)

I can't tell if your car is a standard or master from the ID of 54T. If your car is a 54-20, then it is a standard six. If the hand crank comes out under the radiator, not through the bottom tank, it is a standard six. I had a cam gear made because of the difficulty of finding one. I found it hard to find a shop willing to make just one gear. Finally I was referred to LAB threads and Gear Works, Inc. at 203-949-9097. They took measurements from my old gear and asked that I send the crankshaft gear so they could be sure of the fit, etc. The result was perfect. I had them make it of aluminum, which I regret because of the noise. They will make it of fiber if you ask. They should have the dimensions on file. Have them reference Invoice# 5562, 11 July 2008 for Howard Eckstein 1925 Buick Std 6. Good luck.

You're right, Leif, it is an old thread. Perhaps in the future someone will be asking for information regarding where to get a 1925 Std 6 cam gear, and the above reply will help them.
