Mallory was taken over, CRAP. I found better true roll pins at ZORRO. They have different materials and strengths pins. I bought a bag of a hundred pins. The original roll pin was a great failsafe. If it sheared the engine stopped and no damage done and easy to fix. Bigger pin takes away from the shaft thickness and moves the weak link some where else. The distributer gear was drilled so it can and would only be reinstalled the one one way. The gear and shaft pin hole was slightly off center and angled downward slightly.
