Best distributor gear for a B cam
 

I have the old cast iron gear on my stock distributor...problem is that the gear wore out...not sure it's strong enough for my cam...any suggestions of what material replacement gear I should get?

Ford Hydraulic flat tappet cams take a cast iron gear, hydraulic roller tappet cams take steel gears and for "sort-of" a universal fit you can use a bronze gear(not recommended unless an application specifically calls for it).

As you know the B cam is roller tappet and a steel gear should be used on the distributor.

:cool:
