A friend just when thru this Comp cam / steel gear thing.

Comp bought some cam blanks (or made them) out of very hard stuff. They are eating up all dist. gears. My buddy use the poly gear which lasts 8,000 miles.
After calling the builder and Comp he found out that Lunati has a new gear that works with any cam but only fits stock dist.
The builder drilled out the gear to fit my buddies MSD dist.

All problems solved!

I would never use a bronze in a street motor. The gear will wear out (fast) and you have all that bronze dust in the oil going thru the bearings! Not on my motor.
They OK on a race motor that gets pulled down a lot.
