    I was looking around E-bay yesterday for a spare dristrubitor gear and saw the the 231 also has the same size shaft as the 455, but did not offer anything more.

    Are they the same?

    Not sure about the v6 gear but the 350 and 455 dist. gears are different,I think one of the gears has an extra tooth.

    now if only someone can count the teeth on a 6 banger we shall have the definitive guide.
