Default Distributer gear pin sheared off

I have about 350 miles on my rebuild and my engine died. After checking I found that the pin that holds the gear on the distributor shaft has sheared off. The engine is 428 FE with a MSD Unilite distributor with a steel gear, the cam is a Comp roller cam, the oil pump is Melling HV 57 and 10w40 oil. Any help trying to solve why this happened so that I can fix the problem and get going again. Thanks, Chas
