[s-cars] Timing gears

[mlp5]

Kevin - Are you suggesting timing gears to replace the timing belt?  That
would be a major and,  my guess only, a very, very expen$ive and rather
complex undertaking.  Could you be thinking of some "old" 3B engine threads
on the need/desire to replace the 3b's distributor drive gear with a brass
piece?  I believe the AAN, while using the same head etc. as the 3B, dropped
the gear on the end of the (?) intake cam used by the 3B in favor of the
hall sensor on the front of the head.
