Email Comp Cams and ask them. If it's a billet cam, it needs a bronze distributor gear unless it's been designed for street use and has a cast gear on the cam.

Just call comp cams and they said that cams finishing with a 8 like 12-772-8 are cast and they can be used with the stock distibutor gear & fuel pump push rod so no need for the bronze thing.
