440-6 Oiling Question

[70_440-6Cuda]

Without knowing the specs or use of the vehicle, here are my thoughts:
-Never been a fan of high-pressure pumps, is there a reason you are considering it?
-Definitely use a windage tray, regardless of pump.
-Bronze distributer shaft gear depends on cam selection, check with mfg.
-No experience with repro dip sticks.

Running an Elgin flat tappet cam in my 440; I called Elgin and they said it is cast iron and specs should be very similar to stock cam.  They also told me not to use a bronze or hardened steel intermediate shaft gear but rather a composite gear.  Anyone have any suggestions for the intermediate shaft?  Was going to use the steel gear version from 440Source, but now wondering if I should be looking for something else.  I am no engine builder, but the steel gear seems fine for a cast iron cam gear - thoughts?
