Re: [FWDLK] timing chain replacement

[Bob Moore <remoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi Bryan,

If you do less than ~75K Miles on this chain it would be very unlikely that
you would ever notice a difference.  

It is recommended to replace the sprockets and chain at the same time, and
it is a pretty good idea to buy them from the same manufacturer, sometimes
available as a set.  Just stay away from the nylon teeth upper/cam sprockets
all too common during the 60's!  Cloyes has been around quite a while.

Good luck/have fun, be careful pressing in the new timing cover seal!

Hi All,

I am in the process of replacing my timing chain (58 Fireflight 361 V-8,
2bbl carb).  I went to Auto Zone and found that they had several types - NOS
chains by Cloyes for only $12, and high performance chains starting at $25. 
Has anyone replaced their chains with a high-performance chain?  If so, what
is your impression?  Any recommendations for a supplier and/or manufacturer?

All opinions are welcome.  Thanks!
