any advice on timing chain set ??
im putting a cam in my 86 305 iroc and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations on a timing chain set ... its a flat tappet cam and would like to use factory cover ... i dont know if a double roller will fit with the stock cover .. ill be getting it from summit so if you have a part # that would be cool ..

A double roller set fits fine behind a stock front cover.

Back when I put a 350 in my '86 IROC-Z, I spent a lot extra on a Manley double roller. A couple of years later, taking the engine apart, the chain had no slop in it. That really surprised me. Cloyes is supposed to be the first name in timing sets, but I found an excellent alternative.

This is what I used, IIRC: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MAN-73111/
there are cheaper options, but I feel this is worth it.
