Slant six distributor drive gear
No, I just found your juxtaposed comments interesting. Now even more so given your education and profession.
I suggest you look at a few more and a bit more closely. Due to the age of the engines it is likely that well used examples will be on the second or third gear. Maybe a service shaft installed if they have been rebuilt.
Hey, I did my due diligence. I looked at a vintage NOS factory rebuilt distributor and it did not follow the FSM.
Industry wide problem -- as I stated about a year ago and as acknowledged by Ford for many years now. But you know that because you read the threads. I am just trying to figure out some sort of an excuse for a trained engineer such as yourself. It is not easy.
I agree, goes great with coffee.
I went off the deep end by actually investigating the topic analytically. Sadly, an exercise lost on many. I also improved the scraper designs, again. Charlie was kind enough to lend me some blocks. I also designed a girdle as shareware for the slant six community. I also suggested a general design improvement for the slant six oil pump. Oh -- that's your area of expertise. I forgot.
Yup. Right off the deep end. Yikes.

Yes, a scraper typically returns about 2% of the output of the engine. Thanks for confirming my wild claims. My wild claims independently confirmed on multiple engine configurations. I forget though, a BMW slant six is a verboten topic on dot org. Where is that rolling eyes emoticon...
