Dave, thanks for the info and words of encouragement.
I'll let you know what I decide to go with.

Wouldn't the slight slop between the cam gear and distributor gear cause problem with the crank reluctor/sensor in a distributor? Those reluctors are usually very fixed to the crankshaft with no movement. I now it is small but still there is going to be some rocking between the gears.
I'm not worried so much about the gear backlash as I am the slop in the timing chain.Originally Posted by 2xls1
The backlash between the gears is probably not going to be any concern at all. Besides every distributor fired ignition system ever made has the same thing.
But I'm not really worried too much about that. It's just an OLD engine that I'm going to play with.
If this works I might Do the same thing to my 1987 Wrangler that has a 2.5L 4 banger in it.
Well there is injection timing as well since I don't think it will be running batch fire but it probably won't make much difference since I doubt you will care about misfire detection either.
2xls1 the total error should be less than 4 deg on the crank. and it really won't matter on this engine. We'll just have to wait and see how it runs
But you're right I'm not going to worry about misfire detection. I'm not going to turn it off unless it becomes an issue.
