At this point the steel vs bronze argument is moot.
I have gone with the Comp Cams composite gear.
I had my friend Mel install the Comp Cams composite gear on the dizzy. It dialed in perfectly with a spec of 4.033". (The gear needs to be between 4.031" and 4.038")
We installed the dizzy in the motor last night. It dropped in fairly easily.
MME specified 6 degrees initial timing and we got a reading of 8 degrees right from drop in.
Later this week I will adjust the valve lash. Once the valve lash is set I can get the engine up to temp, set the timing and I should be good to go.
I'll let the forum members know what my experience is with this type of distributor gear
