I have never seen a dist. gear worn down that much, however it is possible and I think a quick look would be obvious to you, there are some after market dist. with incompadible gears to your application but this is also pretty rare. Go get another clamp and check your threads to make sure they are not stripped. Again, an HEI distributer is far better than the ole point dist. and a good one will only run about $130-$160 from Jegs or Summit Racing (don't forget the new plug wires and Plugs to match) I will never go back.
