Fast forward to today's technology one might wonder if a distributor gear made from Carbon Ultra-Poly would of solved the 455 SD issue.
Similar to the BOP Composite Distributor Gear used by many now in a Pontiac application. I know for a fact many of us have used it in conjunction with 80 lb pumps with no signs of wear issues at higher RPMs.
