Melonized Gear for Pontiac - New
 

Has anyone seen this? Randy Repp just posted it on his FB page- it’s a Howard’s Cams Everwear Melonized distributor gear for Pontiac. Good deal if quality and a third option for roller cams:

Nice to see new products for this addiction of ours…

I'm pretty sure melonized gears for Pontiac have been around for a while.

I hadn’t seen one available- can you post a link?

I never saw a melanized distributor gear for a Pontiac until now. It seems they only make them for a .500 shaft nothing for a stock distributor.

The Progression Ignition distributor I bought around two years ago had a melonized gear and it was .491

Yeah theyve been around for a while now for pontiac. I mentioned it maybe a year ago when the subject came up. It's what Ive used on all engine builds of other brands for a really long time.

Which is better for a steel geared roller cam - the polymer or melonized?

Great distributor! Love mine!

The ad says for .500 shaft and is good for flat tappet and Hyd Roller cams. Doesn't say solid roller?

Ernie, did you get to race, ANY, in 2023???

First time in 20 years I never made it. I did manage to take an old friend for a ride a month ago. He has a supercharged Mustang..fast car great highway car not set up for the quarter mile. Took him for a drive around town..showing him how mellow it is...he asked me how high the engine can rev 5000 rpm?, I told him well over 6000 rpm. ToId him lets head out of town and lets see how its working.I had my street tires on, Nitto's heated them up for a second, took off from a standstill and rolled into the throttle hard..hazed them for maybe 20 feet and fully hooked went maybe 1/8th of a mile then slowed down...totally blew his mind. It was probably the quickest the car has ever been on the street.

Sorry about the hijack to the OP..
