I just purchased a PerTronix Flame-Thrower III Billet Distributor part # D7100711, I haven't installed it yet but it looks like a nice unit, I was told by pertronix that the distributor comes with a cast gear and cannot be used with my Lunati billet Hyd cam, so I phoned up Lunati and they recommended me a Lunati Everwear Gear part#8902,
I have never switched out a distributor gear before, how hard is it? just tapping out the roll pin? any tips would be great, I haven't checked out the end play on distributor yet, what should the end play be? I bought a Moroso Distributor Shim Kit part #26140 if needed
lastly when I'm ready to install the distributor I will have to check out the wear pattern on the gear for proper cam gear engagement, what's the best way to see the wear pattern, machinist dye? or assembly lube? and the wear pattern should be in the middle of the gear right? I also bought a Moroso Distributor housing Shim Kit #26150
any other tips would be great, Thanks Chris
