Have a question about timing gears...

I'll post this on the history board too, but I'm looking into a potential buy, and I need some information.

Can someone tell me if the stock 2.8 (1989) 173cid engine used plastic gears for the timing chain?

Thanks,
Mathius

All the 2.8's and 3.1's used steel gears for the timing chain..
