OK, I bought a new identical distributor from Mallory. Checked, and rechecked that the gear was compatible with the cam.
The new diz has a much larger (and I assume) stronger roll pin holding the drive gear in place.
Do you think it's still a good idea to try and drive a piece of piano wire through the larger roll pin to help make it stronger? Or should I just toss the thing in as it comes out of the box and enjoy?
