Distributor drive gear

[EngJW]

I am looking for design information on an automotive distributor drive gear (the right angle drive between the camshaft and distributor). I have not been able to find anything in textbooks. I wonder if it is based on an old GM or Ford standard. A link or any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John Woodward

John,

This may not directly apply to your need and may be too late but the link below may be of interest. It describes the use of injection molded PEEK as a replacement for bronze alloy distributor drive gear.
