Need Timing Chain Help ASAP!

Just got the new Timing chain from Edelbrock for my 352, the new cam sprocket is larger than the old one? Is this right? Not sure why and the guy at the Mustang shop where I bought it. Please Help.

No, I don't think that would be right.

How does the tooth count compare to the original? Does the chain fit on the new sprocket? The cam sprocket should have twice as many teeth as the crank sprocket.

Got it Figured out, the tooth count was 48 & 24. CS65 came over and sorted it out, totally wrong set near as we can tell it was for a FT engine. So put this one in your memory bank. Edelbrock 7808 Timing set for FE engine is totally the wrong part for your old Ford.
