Default Motorsports Roller Distributor Gear- what color?
Greetings!

I'm building up a 331 using Ford Motorsports bits and pieces. I have one new dist gear that has YELLOW paint markings, and I know that it is for a roller cam.

I also have a late model Duraspark II distributor that has an ORANGE paint stripe on it, and the guy "claims" that he had it in his roller motor for a short time, which appears to be correct, very little wear pattern.

Does anybody know if Ford used different colors on the roller cam gears??????? Is orange indeed a roller cam color? I'd rather not change it if I don't have to disturb the one that is already there.....

Thanks in advance!!!
Steve
