i put a set of hedman headers on mine with the pre 72 timing set and a 750 vac sec holley. also do a nice exhaust to match. my truck ran very strong with just those few things. a good rv cam would wake it up also. the hesitation is usually caused by a faulty or misadjusted acclerator pump on the carb but could be several things.

Just go into the auto parts store and tell them you have a 1969 460 you want a timing chain for.
