Hi Joe,
it is a stock gear as far I know no aftermarket gear was made til now but
there will be in short future.
The mating gear was hardened too.
The whole story:
I got Larrys cam and let it nitrate harden. Then after each race I checked
the gears and found wear from the first race on.
After the 3H race at the ring I replaced the gear with the hardened one.
Cheers
Chris

Chris,
Is this OEM gear or aftermarket?....if there is an aftermarket offering.
What about hardening the mating gear?
Great to see the FOT LIST alive with valuable information.

Update:
After the hardening I can report some success!!
The teeth show NO wear anymore.
The contacting surface is glossy polished but no marks of teeth digging
into.
>From my point of view it should be advisable to plasma nitrate harden the
gear wheel to a depth of 0,2 mm.
Cheers
Chris

I would like to give an update:
I did a hardness check on the distributor gear:
HRC 38 to 43 (stock)
After plasma nitrating
48 - 54 HRC
So the surface is now harder and I'll report how the gear will behave.
Cheers
Chris
