LT1 cam questions..

Why does the LT1 cam have a gear to drive the dist on it? is it simply used to drive the oil pump on an lt1? do they also come with a lobe for the fuel pump? just a few things I was wondering about.....

Yes, the gear is used to drive the stub shaft, which drives the oil pump.

Factory LT1 cams that I've seen don't have a fuel pump lobe, but Comp's aftermarket LT1 cans DO have the lobe, just in case.
