Default Stock Distributor - Melonite gear

And we're ground to a halt.....

Went to put my stock distributor together and found out that the MSD gear that comp-cams recommended for use with the new roller cam is for a .500 dia shaft. Stock shaft is .490 dia.

Anyone have a part number for a melonized, iron gear that has a .490 dia hole?

Thanks, going to call GM tomorrow and see if I can get one through them or the local performance place

Not that it's exactly what's holding me up right now but it's at least one thing that can be dealt with.

Received and installed, (only got the play down to .006+ but it'll have to do) so another small job checked off.
Thanks again for the heads up on the GM gear
