Jon,

I had a distributor gear wear down to nothing, on a rebuilt distributor, within a few hundred miles. The supplier blamed incorrect fitting /misalignment of the distributor. He supplied and fitted a replacement gear (chargeable) which failed similarly within 12 miles. A local engineer found the new gears to be soft (unhardened) steel. Fitting an original gear cured the problem. The supplier did tell me he'd never known another one fail.

Worth checking your cam lobe too as mine was found to be machined off-centre, making for some interesting points gaps!

Peter.
