I have a 289 with a Lunati Cam and and just purchased a MSD Distributor (model PN8582) that was in and Rollor 302, I emailed MSD to figure out what gear I was going to need for my 289 but they are dont really know. My problem is I dont know what model Cam I have since I got the motor out of another car. So any push in the right direction will help, Im stuck and really wanna use this Distributor..

Thanks

If its a hydraulic roller a steel gear.
Flat tappet and solid rollers use cast iron.
You can use a bronze gear with any of the above too, but it may not last as long.

You could also check the old distributor....
