Back in the early 70s when I bought my 28 station wagon, I was driving it around my neighborhood when it just quit. I opened the distributor and turned the engine with my hand crank. I noticed that the rotor wasn't turning. I removed the timing cover side plate and saw that several teeth on the timing gear were missing. I towed it home, removed the bad gear, and replaced it
with an aluminum one. It was noisy but it worked until I had the engine rebuilt
I now always use an aluminum or bronze timing gear.
