I thought at one-point composite gears were the next big thing? FWIW here's Summit Racing's 'what gear should I use' tech advice and bronze only recommended for billet steel roller cam.

Which distributor gear should I buy? (summitracing.com)<https://help.summitracing.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4904/~/which-distributor-gear-should-i-buy%3F#:~:text=4%20Types%20of%20Distributor%20Gears%201%20Composite%202,used%20as%20the%20default%20gear%20on%20replacement%20distributors.>

Getting the right material is the most important part of choosing a distributor gear. The gear should be slightly softer than the camshaft. This will ensure accurate ignition timing and a long engine life.

I was originally told 10,000 miles but when I changed mine at 8000 miles it was worn and feathered more than I would have liked to have seen, so that why I now say 5000 miles instead of the original 10,000 miles. You should follow the cam manufactures recommendations on which type of gear to run for each manufactures cam. Brass is safe to run in most all cases, but may not give much longevity, but it wont harm the cam drive.

    5000 miles from a brass gear? The engine might barely run that long but significant degradation would happen much sooner.

    Iron cams need iron gears and steel roller cams need steel gears. Brass gears are a relic of the past….

Something else fell apart and debris was floating around in the oil and jammed the oil pump gears which locked it up and the pin worked as intended, shearing so that the driveshaft wasn’t twisted like a licorice stick. That’s the usual cause.

I’m nit suggesting that IS a potential cause; I’m asking IF it could be a potential cause to those who know more than I about such things (which is an awful lot of people!)

   I thought at one-point composite gears were the next big thing? FWIW
   here's Summit Racing's 'what gear should I use' tech advice and bronze
   only recommended for billet steel roller cam.

   [1]Which distributor gear should I buy? (summitracing.com)

   [2]Which distributor gear should I buy? - Summit Racing Equipment
   Getting the right material is the most important part of choosing a
   distributor gear. The gear should be slightly softer than the camshaft.
   This will ensure accurate ignition timing and a long engine life.

   I was originally told 10,000 miles but when I changed mine at 8000
   miles it was worn and feathered more than I would have liked to have
   seen, so that why I now say 5000 miles instead of the original 10,000
   miles. You should follow the cam manufactures recommendations on which
   type of gear to run for each manufactures cam. Brass is safe to run in
   most all cases, but may not give much longevity, but it wont harm the
   cam drive.

       5000 miles from a brass gear? The engine might barely run that long
   but significant degradation would happen much sooner.
       Iron cams need iron gears and steel roller cams need steel gears.
   Brass gears are a relic of the past....

   a licorice stick. That's the usual cause.

   more than I about such things (which is an awful lot of people!)
