Yes, buy a bronze gear or dist gear from Chevy HP.

It actually depends on the cam gear.

Most people use a pressed on steel gear so you can run a stock steel dist gear. If its all billet, then you need to run a bronze or composite gear.

Frank, have you gotten any of my responses to your emails? They keep bouncing back saying your inbox is full.

Anyway, your stock distributor gear will work fine.

The stock 502EFI cam is a Crane and they use pressed on cast gears so you can run a stock distributer.
