Change to bronze distributor gear?
I'm using an after market HEI distributor from Skip White in my CSB factory roller block.
Last season I changed to an after market hydraulic roller cam from Howards Cams. Item number 183215-14.
Should I change to a bronze/composite gear on the distributor?

I have comps composite gear on my small cap HEI, had to make a small shim to make it fit the smaller shaft but no complaints so far.

Re: Change to bronze distributor gear?
Only if the cam is made of forged steel. If it's cast iron, run the stock iron gear...
