Installed a new gear from GM with the new rebuild. As mentioned above Bronze is not really recommended IMO. I got my cam from Lingenfelter and that was what they said they use on new installations.

Anyone got the GM PN for the factory LT1 gear? (Just the gear, don't really want to replace the adapter part if I don't need to...) I was told to use a SBC dist gear, but looking at the gear, it appears to have a different profile than the SBC dist gears.
or can I simply order any steel .427 SBC dist drive gear? Both Jegs and Summit have 'em at really reasonable prices.

Comp Cams messed up my order and my cam eats gears like crazy. Stock one in 300 miles bronze ones in 1K miles. Pretty crapy.
Diameter is .427
