I bought a Gear Drive from a buddy that races his bought it new but he can't remember if its noisey or quiet and what brand it is. It has some numbers on the ideler gears they are 7840003AQBN any help would be appreciated.

go to www.jegs.com and see if you can match the part no. also try www.summitracing.com

"any help would be appreciated"

I'll give you some help. Place all the components in the box and hand it back to your buddy, then ask him for your money back.

If you need to replace the timing mechanism on your motor, go to jegs or summit and buy a Cloyes true roller setup.

im going to have to agree with tech my gear drive finally wore out and emits shavings of metal and the timing jumps back and forth 14 degrees at idle! bought a cloyes true roller

gear drives actually damage your engine, it defeats the purpose of balancing it, the noise it creates even with the quite ones, happens to cause harmonic vibrations thru your crank and cam, and just wears your engine out 3x as fast, they're fine for racing cause you rebuild your motor every 1000 miles, but for a street driver, its better to be able to build a nice tough engine thats not going to be needing constant heavey duty maintence

harmonic kills and in race engine more so. i have been beating the harmonic part in some heads here but they are very hard

Rob a bank and get a Jesel belt drive. Just kidding on the rob a bank part, better do two.

There are better ways to get that whining sound from your engine.
