Distributor Replacement 96 bronco 351

[Cbhooch]

Changing out my distributor trying to figure out what the best brand to buy. Also wondering if my gear is cast iron or steel. Thank you

Pretty sure they were all cast gears. Maybe someone else can confirm.

Not sure what is available for remans but it seems like all aftermarket parts are a crapshoot.
