You should be fine as long as its a decent brand, I'd stay away from the cheap eBay gear drive sets just because if they wear you can get metal shavings all through your motor. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>8stang8</b> <br /><small>Member # 8082</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,8,23,15,26,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I had bad luck w a gear drive in the past. The engine ran fine drove it for about a yr made nice pwr very reliable.<br /><br />One day the thing jus died on the hwy. I pulled over tryed to crank it and crank it nothing took of the air filter to see if the carb was giving gas it was took the dizzy cap off and the rotor wasnt turning hmmmm.<br /><br />Towed it to the house pulled the dizzy it was fine... Looked down the hole n WOW tons of geardive teeth all over the place...<br /><br />Took the valve covers off evry spring was compresed every valve bent... I will never run a geardrive again Pete Jackson was the brand also... Toasted my 205 AFRs also cracked em at the valve guide... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>92stangLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 3252</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,8,24,6,28,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Why do you want to go with a gear drive? I have not really heard anything good about them. If you want to replace your timing set get a good double roller timing set like a Cloyes. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
