I have used spring pins for the distributor gear with no problems. The
drive of the distributor does not take any significant load, unlike the oil
pump drive, and in fact, the strength of the higher quality spring steel
material, over the plain mild steel original pin, probably means that the
spring pin may actually be stronger.
