Genuine LEMPCO S-266 Camshaft Timing Gear (NORS)
This New Old Replacement Stock (NORS) LEMPCO S-266 camshaft timing gear is a vital component for maintaining precise engine timing in your vintage Plymouth, Dodge, and Dodge Truck. Designed for 1955-1959 Plymouth Belvedere, Savoy, Plaza, and Fury models, as well as various Dodge cars and Dodge Trucks equipped with the 230 cubic inch flathead 6-cylinder engine, this gear ensures reliable operation and helps restore your classic vehicle's original performance. While packaged under the LEMPCO brand, the original label indicates it may be a relabeled part from another quality manufacturer.
Part Condition & Visual Inspection:
Upon visual inspection, the LEMPCO S-266 camshaft timing gear exhibits significant surface rust across its entire metallic surface, including the teeth and hub. This rust is purely cosmetic, a common occurrence with vintage parts stored for decades, and does not affect the structural integrity or functional performance of the gear. The original LEMPCO packaging is also present but shows considerable shelf wear, including tears and discoloration, with the part number "S-266" handwritten on a faded label.

Note on Stock Photos: Due to our inventory of multiple identical units for this specific part number, we utilize representative stock photos for this listing. You will receive a component that strictly meets all listed specifications and fitment requirements. Please be aware that because these are vintage parts, minor cosmetic variations—such as surface finish, color, or production markings—may exist between different manufacturing runs. These slight aesthetic differences are a result of historical production processes and do not impact the part's integrity, performance, or authenticity.
A Note on Fitment Accuracy: We manually research our fitment data using vintage manufacturer catalogs to provide you with the most accurate information possible. However, because we are human and these decades-old resources can occasionally contain errors, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy. We strongly encourage you to perform your own due diligence and verify this part number for your specific application before purchasing. Please note that this part may also fit other vehicles or years not explicitly listed in our research.
