DeTomaso Mailing List: October 99, Message #189

Hi all,

I'm at the point where I need to make a decision.  I'm putting in the Crane
Hydraulic Roller conversion kit to my latest 351C build.  Originally, when
I ordered the components (years ago), I got a bronze dizzy gear.

Now that technologies have changed and I've read a bit about other metals
for these, here is my question.

Crane offers both a steel and an aluminum-bronze gear.  I want long life
and I don't think I'm going to get it from the bronze gear.  So can I go
with the steel gear and be okay?  Is this my better option?

Please cast you vote, I'll tally them and post the results later today.

Steel
Bronze
