Then, typically, how long should the bronze gear last, assuming one is not racing their FE? As a part of one's yearly or biannual checkup, does one pull the distributor and take a gander at this bronze gear?
Can the bronze gear also "take out" the lower distributor gear and/or bearing, and thereby require carrying a new distributor as well? Does one also carry an extra MSD ignition module too along with the cap, rotor, gear and lube.
I guess I'm asking if I should carry in my tool box and extra of virtually everything.
All these questions are important, because Patrick has publicly stated that he will dance butt-naked on my hood.
