To be honest, it would be much easier to just broach additional keyways in the crank gear of either a Cloyes or Enginetech gear set. Sealed Power also makes them as well. Several 8-1016 and 8-1018 adjustable gear sets are on eBay right now as we speak, so there is still some inventory out there. I broach keyways for crank snout drilling fixtures i've made before, and have everything to do it with. So I could just buy a bunch of those timing sets and resell them at a modest upcharge for providing the service if needed.
I would also exhaust all efforts to locate the adjustable Cloyes sets thru Rock Auto, NAPA, Advance and Auto Zone before giving up on those options entirely. They can search each of their respective databases nationwide to see if any are available in some of their warehouses or stores.
Is the straight cut gear set better or worse than the angle cut?
