That's possible. The weak points are the tang that drives the oil pump
and the pin that holds the gear to the distributor shaft.
I keep forgetting the I6 uses nylon teeth in the gear. My old chevy
used a steel gear drive.

That reminds me: The venerable Slant 6 in the late 1960s had a nylon drive
gear on the distributor -- as I found out one fine frigid day when I'd
dropped one of the points hold-down screws down inside the distributor.
Oops. Hey, I was a kid and still thought a hammer was a tool for fine
work. I lost _that_ notion after breaking the replacement gear by trying
to push a roll pin that was too long through it.
