Your gear will be fine. It's a drop in. You can use any 302 or 289 distributor as long as you make sure you keep the HO firing order. I reccommend keeping the electronic distributor and using a aftermaket igintion (ie MSD).

you will need to get the steel gear that comes on the roller motor distributors. any gear will not work. if you try it, it will destroy the cam and the dist. gear.
