305 distributor to new 350 ?'s

Will my 85 tpi distributor work on my 88 l98 block. Is the only thing I need to get is a bronze gear to run with my zz4 cam?

Also
How do I delete the cold start injector?
These are my last few problems and the motor will be in.

thanks,
Rick

You'd be better off getting a GM gear (or similar... not brass, but 'melonized'... whatever that is ) instead of brass... brass wears out. I wont say to order an 88 gear from GM though, they were nice enough to change the shaft size on the newer distributors. Other than that, it'll drop right in.

You could also just buy a new one for about $150.00 . That one from 85' probably has seen better days. Just my.02

I think I will just replace it. Except I have the in cap coil instead of the external one. Should I just order one that a vette used? Vettes had in cap coils.

Thanks,
