I'm not sure I understand the builder's logic. I assume this is a roller motor. You've got a steel cam and a steel gear. You're builder says one steel gear (the cam) is harder than the other steel gear (the dizzy). The dizzy gear is the worn piece meaning that this steel is softer of the two steels. Now he wants to put on an even softer metal gear on the dizzy? Something isn't right. Hit your dizzy gear with a grinder. Does it spark? If it does, it's steel. If it doesn't, it's cast.

IMHO.. I'd throw out all that MSD crap and get a Pertronix.
