I'm not a metalurgist but apparently all steel is not equal. Roller cam is a different material than a flat tappet cam. Seems to me there are steel gears, iron gears, composite material gears and bronze gears. No matter what cam you use you still have to pick the right dist gear material for the application.

Changing the gear on the dist can be, well, as your thread title states, a nightmare!
