Decided to replace the entire distributor since that's the last part from the old engine. Bonylad mentioned to check for drive gear wear plus I've had a hot start ignition issue so I figured why not replace the whole pos to eliminate it as a possible source of my issues.
I hope that new distributor fixes your ignition problem!

The only reason to run a harden bronze-brass dist gear is if you have a roller cam now with the cam button I'm sure you checked the end play of the cam in reference to there specs because it comes with shims to get the correct end/back lash.

Using that cam button I wonder if it pulls the cam forward a bit out of spec or the lash movement back and forth is more than what it should be. I am curious to see how this distributor will change how it runs if it will at all.
