oldford Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 My '27 Big six engine just stripped the 45 degree pot metal gears off the cam shaft. Is anyone making a replacement set? Thanks.....Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spu Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 I recently picked up a spare distributor gear for my 1925 Big 6 from Ben McAdam in Wheeling, WV. It is in excellent un-used condition. His email is AntiqueBenny@aol.com. I do not know how many he lad left in stock. He also has ignition parts for 1920's vintage Studebaker Big 6's.<p>[ 07-15-2001: Message edited by: spu ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted July 5, 2001 Author Share Posted July 5, 2001 Thanks for the info. I emailed him and will wait for his reply. Saratoga is not too far, What body style do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spu Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 I am the proud owner of the one and only 1925 Studebaker Bus! You can see a picture of it at <A HREF="http://www.lastchancemarina.com/studebaker.htm" TARGET=_blank>Steve's Last Chance Studebaker</A><P>My distributor drive gear is still "OK" but I have learned not to trust anything made of potmetal ...<P>Is there any interest out there in Studebaker land for me to make duplicates of my spare gear?

oldford Posted July 13, 2001 Author Share Posted July 13, 2001 Well, I can't speak for others, but I would be interested. Of Course it depends on the price. I just received a pair of steel gears from Boston Gear that cost me $35 for the pair. These are blanks that I have yet to machine to fit properly. since I have the tools, it's not a problem, but even my time is money, so to speak. The other problem with these gears is they only have 15 teeth. The originals had 21 and would be easier to set timing. Do you have a price range you were considering????<P>Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spu Posted July 15, 2001 Share Posted July 15, 2001 I do not have the capability of "making" the gears myself. I would verify the design and specs and subcontract the work. As for cost, I have not figured that out yet. Stay tuned ...<P>Steve<p>[ 07-15-2001: Message edited by: spu ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
