In the middle of a H/C swap. I have some questions.

Hey guys I'm finally putting the ZZ4 heads and cam in and I have a couple of questions.

First, I got a timing set from Napa and I'm not to sure of it. Here's the one I got.

Will I be ok using this?

Second, This is for those who have done this swap. What did you guys do for the sensors in the heads? My stock ones look to be a little larger than what the plugs seem to be.

Third, being the the ZZ4 cam is a roller cam I shouldn't have any problems with my stock distributor gear will I?

Also, what would be a good header gasket for these heads? I'm currently running 2055's. I plan on getting a set of Dyno Don headers here soon.

At this time that's about it but if anybody can help me out that would be awesome.

No application data for that chain, but looks like it should work, looks just like a SBC timing chain lol...

The sensor issue...they should swap over, id have to see them to know or not..

If you're using the original 88? distributor...it will work just fine with the zz4 roller cam.

ive always had great success with percys aluminum header gaskets..wont blow out, and they are reusable, 35 bucks a set.
