Default Where Alum Cam Gear?

I need to buy an aluminum cam gear for an 8BA with a Max 1. Is one better than another and is there a good place to buy? I am used to buying Model A parts, I’m new to V8’s

Aluminum 8BA cam gears are easy to get many vendors offer them for sale. Overall all 8BA aluminum gears are the same so any vendor you use to buy a gear the one you get will work fine.

This is about as inexpensive as I could find. You might also want to check with 3rd Gen Automotive.
