Default Crane cams gone

I,ve got 2 crane roller cams with the pressed on gears.The gears
need replacing .Made the calls and you guessed it they have been
sold and no info to get the work done.
Here is a tip, always check your distributor shaft and bushing on an
engine build it will eat up on your cam gear.

I hope they have resurfaced after Chapter 11 or whatever happened to them. I have run their cams for years and currently have one in my 383.

Good choice. Can't beat an established, reputable, reliable, company like Crower. They power my 406
