I was trying to cross the part number for a Standard Motor Products ignition module on Summits site. When I got close to narrowing it down all the sudden I was asked what Ford part number it was originally and was given about 30 different OEM numbers that had about 8 characters each in them. Turns out they all crossed to the same LX203 number for Standard. Then I took the part number and searched Amazon for it since I get free 2 day shipping with my Prime membership(also they seem to beat Summit's prices, but they don't have a search application for vehicles) that I cant use to watch movies with because my smart blue ray doesn't offer Amazon and doesn't have any software upgrades available.
As for watching Amazon, get a Roku, Apple TV, or even Google Chromecast although there are some issues with them I hear.

On Amazon, once you have a part pulled up look for My Garage. I can't see where it is right now 'cause I'm logged in and it automagically checks anything I'm looking at against whatever vehicle I have selected. But you should be able to see the drop-down..... sorry, gotta go someone texted me. Oh, 'tis you. Yes, look for the drop down.

I just looked up some distributors to answer a question another poster had(forgot what post it was) and noticed Autozone had a choice. You could get a dist with a cast iron gear or with a steel gear already installed. You might want to check their site and see what it says.
If your camshaft supplier recommends the steel gear, you need to use it. It needs to be right. If the camshaft has a steel gear and you put a cast iron dist gear in, it will eat up the cast iron gear. The reverse is also true, if your camshaft happens to have a cast iron gear and you put a steel dist gear in, the dist gear will eat up the camshaft gear. The load on it comes from the oil pump.
