distribtor gear question
Did a quick search and couldn't find a specific answer to my question. I've got an 87 roller motor, with unknown cam. Planning to change to a mild melling cam and change the lifters. The distributor is a Mallory set up, it came from a hydraulic motor (84) I've heard using a rollers use a different dist. gear. Is this true? If so can I swap the gear out for the right one?

Re: distribtor gear question
Hawkz28 is probably right. You will have to knock the small pin out of the dist. shaft to get the old gear off or, buy the dist. gear you need and have a shop do it for you . I think i was quoted like $25 to have it pressed on.
