Then you will need the aluminum/bronze gear unless he had the gear portion of the cam setup to run a stock steel distributor gear..TLSR Billet
Yeah TRI-TEC and Comp both have polymer gears but it will not fit the EPM that AEM sells........You could always use the polymer gear as well. My cam is a non-billet hydraulic roller and I was told by the maker to run Steel. Good luck.
That is good to hear...I re-verified today with Jay for good measure....I'm good with the steel.
Whew...
Good deal!!![]()
There u have it guys....MSD dizzy with the EPM on top. I'll let u guys know how it works.
I did not do the work but my buddy/fabricator did. The base is a magnetic crank trigger MSD dizzy with the cap removed. The shaft was slotted to accept the epm. But it was not as simple as slapping the EMP and drilling 3 holes to attach the emp because the three holes have to be perfectly ROUND. I believe he used a tracer on the millng machine to place the EPM precisely in the center of the shaft.Good deal!!
Did you just machine the base or what?
Can you post a picture of the top without the epm mounted?

Can you give me the part number of the exact MSD dizzy that was used? I have a couple laying around in the shop and may have one that will work.I did not do the work but my buddy/fabricator did.

I do not have pics of the top without the epm...i may snap some at later time.
WE did find out however the 2 shaft sytem of AEM EPM allows the gear to thrust upwards since the gear is on a seperate shaft. This could be the very cause of our chewed up gears.
Used an MSD 8378 this is for a 351w so buy according to your motor (obviously). This dizzy just happened to need minimal modifications b/c the base was big enough to bolt the module to. Others may not be so easy.Can you give me the part number of the exact MSD dizzy that was used? I have a couple laying around in the shop and may have one that will work.
I have access to mills and lathes so that will not be a problem mounting the EPM module.
Yep if it is a two shaft system and the lower shaft is moving up and down that will cause the bronze/aluminum gears to wear faster.........Not good...
Thanks for the info.

I have an AEM EMP setup on a MSD base with an MSD bronze gear for sale if you want. Had to pay big bucks to have it custom done. Let me know if ur interested. It solved all my gear eating issues.pro comp bronze gear pc-1084..
chewed after 1hr of run time...
drained my oil and you can see a bronze film through out it
hope it didn't wipe my motor ..more so my t-trim
considering ditching my billit cam for one with the press on steel gear compatible one
