I do not know exactly. But I run iron points (triggers my CD box) distributors. Its hard to find one all worn out. Maybe they oil the bushings better. Maybe they have a larger bushing.
I just know I have found plenty of aluminum PMD distributors worn out in comparison.
All the iron units I have come across have been in good shape and they are older than the aluminum ones.
My brother was having distributor/HEI issues on his bracket sbc. I found him a iron Chevy distributor and let him use a Crane HI6 ignition box I had, cured it.
Simple is good.
Not to say he could not have gotten the HEI working well.
