351c 4V distributor drive gear

I have a 1972 351C 4V and need a distributor drive gear. Is there another engine that uses the same gear so i can just go to the junk yard and get one? The cheapest gear i found so far is 50 bucks, and i can get a whole distributor for 20 at a junk yard.

thanks
Brian.

351c, 351m, 400, 429, 460 use the same dist and gear. 351w dist is the same except the gear.
