May I use a 1988 Thunderbolt ignition distributor used on 7,4 liter with hydraulic flat tappet cam, in a 7,4 liter gen VI with hydraulic roller camshaft?

All Chevy SBC and BBC motors use the same cam gear

Just inspect the gear for wear

My consern was compability between the gear and possible different metal in the flat tappet camshaft compared to the roller camshaft. This is a common issue with big and smalblock chevy. I dif not know if this is a issue for boat engines. Thanks for the reply.
