You can use a stock Ford distributor gear on the MSD distributor and they are a lot cheaper than the MSD gears. I think the last time I bought a gear from Ford it was less thatn $20. The steel gears will last a lot longer.
what i would do (and did), find someone who's dist. took a dump, or someone that upgraded to an msd, and buy that dist. for like 10 bucks... i got a 94 w/ steel gear that way.. using that gear on my billet distributor
