When should the timing chain be replaced??

I have 100,000 miles on my 91 Camaro 305 TBI and was wondering if it's time to change the timing chain?? What is a good chain to replace the stock with??

If you replace the chain, get a double roller chain. They are practically bulletproof and aren't expensive.
