One other thing to consider....if the block and or heads are milled and the difference isn't made up with head gasket thickness this lowers the intake enough to throw off the gear alignment between the cam and distributor gears.....a bronze gear will wear into a pattern with the cam gear and the composite one will not......what would need to be done is to shim the distributor to get the correct gear wear pattern.....just something else to consider......
