67 442 / 400 timing gear
I have a 26000 mile 442 / 400 and was wondering if it has a steel cam spocket or the nylon tooth one. It runs great and no problems but do not want any. Any one know?

So far as I know, all Olds V8's got the nylon tooth cam gear from the factory.
Now there's a good chance it's been changed in the 46 or so years since, so the only way to know for sure is to look under the timing cover.
Most all replacement timing sets come with all iron (or steel) gears, but the factory nylon-tooth gears were available if one was foolish enough to go that route.
