Metal Distributor gear

[mike claire]

I understand the necessity of replacing it, and I will. But that's
probably not the biggest risk I'm taking so I'll let it ride for now.
I'll do the fuel pump, hoses, and the gear in the Spring.

But there will always be any number of other things that *could*
happen - and it would drive me crazy if I let it.

If something happens I'll deal with it with my cell phone and a credit card.....
