Steel Dizzy Gear & IDT Block?

Hi Guys,

I'm in the process of assembling an IDT Eliminator block.
I'm reusing a billet mechanical roller cam and my old
distributor with a "steel" (not iron) dizzy gear. Both
worked fine together in my old OEM block with no
unusual wear. The sheet that comes with the IDT
Eliminator block recommends drilling a .040" hole in
the oil galley plug by the distributor to help lubricate
"bronze" dizzy gears. I'm wondering if this is necessary
for "steel" dizzy gears? Its a drag only 645 ci application.
I'd rather not bleed off any oil psi unless its necessary.
Anybody know for sure?

Thanks,
Rich

Not necessary but often recommended. I don't think you could measure any drop on pressure or volume.

Thanks guys! I'll leave the oil galley plug unaltered!
