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:

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

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?

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

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
