I have a late 302 roller cam motor in my '67 Mustang. Is it ok to use the bronze distributor gear? The jegs catalog says neccessity for a steel billet roller cam, but then it says do not use with a cast or steel cam with integral iron drive gear. I assume all the rollers are steel billet and I'm ok with this one?

The rollers in aero foxes do come with a steel gear. And AFAIK, if you use something like a bronze gear, it would last what, maybe a couple thousand miles?



Good luck.
