Thanks, gotta get her out first. I suspect it may not come out without destroying it.

The only thing one has to watch out for is when using a roller cam and using a non roller cam dizzy gear. I have a 94 302 in my mustang so I bought an 1985 mustang dura spark dizzy which had a factory roller cam so it has a steelk gear where the non roller cam dizzy gears are cast.

What about the other way around? Is that bad too?

Yes, the steel roller dizzy gear will eat the non roller cam shaft.
