To test for a worn timing chain, line up the timing marks, remove the dist cap. Turn the engine backwards until the distributor barely starts to move. Look at the marks and you will see the amount of slop in the timing chain in degrees. You will see some movement, three to five degrees is ok. If there is more then that, the chain is worn and needs replacement. It is not imperitive until it reaches 10 or so, and if there is 14 or more, I won't work on the motor without replacing it. I won't even start it, we will push it out of the shop so the owner can't blame me when it jumps.

Well Bill got the Flowmasters installed. Truck been running better every time we mess with it so thats good.
Well he's getting ready for the christmas money and is lookin to purchase a intake and carb.
What type of intake manifold should he get EGR or Non-EGR the block is a 83', trying to get rid of the cpu stuff. Is he going to need to replace the distributor and if so which would be the way to go? Looking for a simple build up
