Question... what does the gear on the side of the distributor do? the oil pump is driven by other means correct? I am use to small block chevy where the gear on dizzy is driven by the camshaft and drives the oil pump. I have a new dizzy for a 310 gas and it doesnt have a gear on it, just the cog on bottom for oil pump.. so trying to figure out how this is supposed to work.. thanks in advance for info...
 
The oil pump has the gear on it. It drives the distributor Through the tang on the distributor shaft. Towards the top of the distributor is the gear for the tach drive.
