I’ve seen some videos yea. That’s what I’m gonna do tomorrow, oil pump probably failed in the best way possible in hindsight, no engine damage just sheared the dizzy and shut the truck off before there was a serious lubrication problem

Was wondering what distributor drive gear metal should be? Seems bronze for flat tappet. Steel roller or iron?
pretty sure i used bronze accel dizzy 1988 FI 5.8 (20 years ago cant member)
but had upgraded the cam specific for SD as well, cant remember maybe cam required bronze ?

Cast iron is softer than hardened steel(roller cams use this for distributor I think) and is used for the gear. good lubrication and proper zinc content and break in wear on flat tappet keep components wearing right (as well as good timing) to allow cast iron gear
