I'm not sure what you're looking at. If you see a gear through the timing cover, it's the cam gear.

A gear at the front of the crank drives the cam, to the upper left aa you look from the front.
Continuing to the upper left, the cam gear then drives the gear that turns both the governor and distributor.

I'm thinking you may have got into trouble with your work on the governor.

Try pulling your governor and distributor back off. Pull off the flyweights and bearings, etc. on the governor side, then pull the gear out. Bring the engine around to TDC on #1 compression. You might have to move it a little bit by hand to get it to line up so you can see it, but there should be a punch mark visible on the cam gear (there's actually two of them. If you can see them both, great, but the timing cover may allow you to see only one). You should see two corresponding punch marks on the governor/distributor drive gear. Put that gear back in so that the marks line up with the mark(s) on the cam gear.

Put your governor back together. With the rotor lined up to point to #1 on your distributor, put the distributor back on. Hook it all back up and reset your timing.
