    Pat is there any benefit to using a steel distributor gear over an iron one? I was told not to use my bronze gear, it would get eaten up pretty fast.

    its more of a wear issue of the metals that wear the best together .i used many of them cams with just a MsD gear . i do have customers that have used bronze on them as well they never called about short life .but a ferrous gear will be just fine
