how much slack should there be in a 390 timing chain should you be able to push the chain in a little or should it be very tight

there should be about 1/2" deflection in the chain, that is, you should be able to push in or out 1/2" from the middle.

I gotta take a break from all this helping!

Last night I helped a guy twice! (not that I don't mind, I just feel like I'm not taking enough!)

I'm just joking, you are very welcome.
