I purchased new gears from Delta and got them in the mail yesterday.  I spent some time looking over the car.  I may have gone overboard a bit by purchasing the distributor gear.  Looking at the car more closely, I see that the exhaust gear is badly worn, the intake gear not so bad and the distibutor gear not much.  I could return the distributor gear ($190) and save myself some trouble.  It may be paranoia but I still don't like that allen screw.  Also,I have electronic ignition so getting the distributor lined up correctly is not as intuitive as with the points.  If I leave the old gear on I think I can just mark the gear position relative to the distributor body and be OK.  Any suggestions?
