To install a Mopar 440 distributor gear, start by removing the old gear from the distributor shaft if necessary. Align the new gear with the shaft, ensuring the keyway fits properly, and then press it onto the shaft until it is securely in place. Use a small amount of engine assembly lubricant on the gear to ensure smooth operation. Finally, reassemble the distributor and reinstall it into the engine, aligning it correctly with the timing marks.
