Depends on the cam. You need to provide that piece of information to get the right answer.

You need a hardened (melonized) gear. GM and MSD distributors come with them or you can buy them separately.

Don't use the old distributor gear on that new motor whether it's melonized or not. Go to Bill Heard and buy a new one, they should keep them in stock. Sallee chevy has a good write up on how to break in a new gear also on their website.

Suggest you ask yearone exactly which gear to fit your GM dist & their cam ... tell them exactly which GM dist you have and tell them you do NOT want a bronze gear ... get mfg, brand & P/N from them. Cam gears made from various materials/subjected to various treatments ... at this point, No One besides yearone can know what your cam gear is.
