What are the Ford Racing cams, iron or steel?

During initial build, my first motor build, I made the mistake of using a dizzy with a bronze gear....which now has teeth as sharp as razors..and the car barely runs.

A friend of mine gave me a yellow Ford Racing dizzy gear, which is for steel cams. I have an e-cam, and not sure if I should use this gear or not.

All the roller cams are steel & use a steel distributor gear.

Awesome! Thank you. Now I know I can use this gear....hopefully get it on there with no major problems, and get this thing back on the road tomorrow.
