Is a bronze distributor gear compatible with a flat tappet cam?
I'm about to do a 351w swap in my foxbody and I tore up the gear on the distributor when I disassembled it to replace the pick up coil. But I do have a bronze gear I bought some years ago to work with a roller cam in the first 351w I had in my 68. Just didn't know if it would work with a flat tappet cam. I seem to remember that the cam was made of a different material therefore it needed a different material dist. gear.
