Some later FE engines had those nylon teeth too. My stepfather's '72 F-100 had a 390 that jumped timing for that reason at around 100K miles.
The old mechanic down the road who knew Fords diagnosed the no-start problem immediately and installed replacement aftermarket all-metal timing gears.
With the new metal gears we didn't notice any increase in noise from the engine.
