Thanks for the tip, I never really paid any attention to this....I have a distributor out of a 94 Mustang GT,factory roller cammed engine,the gear looks almost like new, I tried to take it off and save it, but it is either frozen on the shaft or welded on
, I tried everything I know of and never got it to move even .00001 fo an inch,including heat form a torch!!!!!!!!!
I was going to use this distributor, but since my engine is a carbed engine and this distributor is for a computer controlled/fuel injection engine, the electronics will not work, hence the 1984/1985 style distributor for the factory carbed cars......
the computer at O'Reilly's says it comes with a steel gear,I just don't trust any parts place anymore with this kind of info,things change all the time and they rarely update their computers to these changes.......
I'll compare it to the one I already have when the new one gets here in a few days.....
Thanks again:
David
