> Bernie,
> In a college-level auto shop class (taken a few decades ago) I recall
> the teacher saying that bronze was a preferable distributor gear drive
> material because 1) it was softer than the steel it would come in
> contact with,  2)  the distributor was easier to replace than an
> internal engine component, and most significantly in his opininon, 3)
> bronze had metalurgical surface characteristics that retained
> lubrication oil on its surface thus reducing wear.
>
> In my opinion you made a good choice of gear drive materials.
