I'd agree that the NWSL site is confusing, but don't let that put you off.  The stuff they offer is first rate, accurately made and it fits.  You'll also find that they are quite helpful.  I've done several remotoring, regearing projects with their stuff, and it greatly improves performance.  I found the $ spent for their printed catalog was well worth it because at least for me it was easier to understand than the website.The issue with the factory MDC gearing is that it is cast and not machined.  That means that due to tolerences, die wear, etc., sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't.  There also is the problem that some of the gears won't hold up under use.  The NWSL stuff is accurately machined, meaning that it is held to tight tolerences and is concentric.  If you're happy with the factory gearing, that's great! (I've had prettty good luck with my MDC rod engines), but if it breaks, is noisy, etc., the NWSL stuff will offer much improved performance.In short, you'll like NWSL if you try them.  It's good stuff & good folks.JBB
