A little off topic, but related........I just ordered a Ford factory distributor at the local O'Reilly's for a 1985 Mustang GT 302 engine, (last year of the carbed engines) to use on my 331 carbed engine.....I wanted one with the factory vacum advance on it and I'm tired of fighting rusted MSD distributors........
anyway, it does say it comes with a steel gear for a roller cam, which is what I need......

My question is: I don't trust this at all, is there anyway to tell the difference between a steel gear and a cast iron gear used on a hydraulic flat tappet cammed engine?????

Distributor should be in wensday morning........
