bronze dist gear? or factory GM gear?

Looks like I need to replace the dist gear on my GM hei dist. The cam in the motor is the factory L98.

My question is, would a bronze gear be ok with this cam, or should I get a factory Gm gear?

Thanks guys.

And yes, for the record, this is about my other post "worn dist Gear / carb backfireing". Its on this same board if you are interesed in checking it out.

just get the stock replacement. The bronze gear is mainly for use with the aftermarket billet steel cams.
