Distributer 1963 262I6

I broke the tooth on my distributer gear. It took awhile to find the gear. Discovered a 800 series tractor uses the same gear in it's diesel oil pump.
A gear maker in Tennessee claims to have the gear with correct number of teeth and orientation of teeth slant, Straub engineering.

I do a lot of business with Chris. He doesn't sell any Chinese crap parts. They mostly do CNC head and block work. https://straubtechnologies.com/

In your other post you said you were having trouble with your distributor not advancing. You need to update that with the year of your truck and what engine is in it. If it happens to be a 223 or 262 I6 most of those engines had a load-o-matic distributor that will only work with the correct carb.

There are 2 distributors on eBay right now, that are listed as fitting a 223, but obviously have a 262 gear installed.

1961-63 models used a small distributor shaft and a 1/4" oil pump drive. Melling M-67 oil pump fits the 1/4" drive shaft.
This one looks like 1961-63 262 distributor C2TZ-12127-E

1964 models used a larger distributor shaft and 5/16" oil pump drive. It requires Melling M-67A oil pump to fit the larger hex drive.
This actually appears to be a 1964 262 distributor C4TF-12127-D

I am not a distributor guru by any stretch, but look in the manual for and measure the dimensions carefully, they are spec'd within a few thousandths of in. including end play.

So swapping a gear from one distributor to another, is way more complicated than it might sound. If you can accurately drill a new hole for the roll pin it's not a big deal. But that too, can be harder than it sounds.

thanks Jim. That first one does look correct. Wish I'd found that before I paid $260 from Gary at NOS in Kansas City. The eBay one was $99.

Thanks I will update to include that it's a 262 inline 6.
