65 Barracuda daily driver
I certainly don't want to have do again, so I should probably just get the Edelbrock chain. Thanks for the tip for the Enginetech hardware kit. Obviously it's not great that the timing chain is bad, but it sounds like it might have been the culprit for the engine idling kinda rough and pinging etc, so I'm glad I checked. After replacing the timing chain in the old slant 6 it made the engine run so much better (in the same car)!
Photos from the archives. Cleaning it up and giving the engine a coat of paint probably also helped. Sometimes I miss tha engine... It's for sale again on FB Marketplace for 1,500 bucks... I sold it to the guy for like 300 bucks including the super 6 intake...
