Small point, I did not notice being mentioned. Main reason for the gear issue is that roller cams are different steel and different manufacuting ways. I regular stock dist. gear up against a roller cam is like a stone and a diamond saw. It grinds it away in a very short time a wastes your engine with small metal grindings that go right through a filter. Like in the Ford Motorsports Cat. in the gear descriptions-via color- that is the only way to tell and you will see the light. Some cam co. are pressing on differnt gears to the cam which allow you to use the regual steel ones. I lost a brand new 347 stroker with the gear I bought and was recommended from com cams- They did say they were sorry and gave me a new cam and the right gear- I ate the motor.
