Frickin' timing chain

I think you spelt caca wrong.......Hope you have compression left after the cam-timing is back...

Me, too! Had 118 psi cold on all cylinders when I bought it. If it runs right after the TC, I might check it again...maybe.

I can think of several parts in the stack up from crank to distributor rotor that could go bad: distributor shaft parts, intermediate shaft and gear, keys, etc. Pull the distributor and shaft and then head under the timing cover. Considering how these chains wear, you may well be spot on.

I am with you, the distributor is a "new" one I had on the shelf, new cap and rotor. Thought I was chasing an ignition problem. I wish.
