302 Crate/345HP Distributor Question

I am planning on buying a 302 Crate/345HP engine (XB3) from Ford Racing. I will be installing it in a 40 Ford Coupe using a 600 CFM Edelbrock carb and ignition coil. My question is, what would be the best choice from MSD? I would like to use MSD "Ready to Run" #8352 but I have heard that I would need to change the distributor gear to a "steel" gear to be compatible with the hydraulic roller cam in the XB3 engine. If so what is the part number?

Anyone have any experience with this engine using carb and coil and no computer? What distributor would you use in this setup?

Thanks you.
