Should I change B20 cam gear to steel? 140-160 1970

A post a few days ago about steel cam gears reminded me of this issue. Seems to me my folks did have a failure of a composite cam gear in one of the 144s years ago.

Rebuild reciept on my '70 145S B20B shows new cam but not new gear. Should I spring for a steel cam gear and install it while the radiator is out for repair?
Car has 240k miles w/ approx 20k since engine overhaul.

BTW. I've tried searching this forum and the archives and find it very frustrating. Anyone have any tips on how to search?

Thanks,
Al
