302 Timing chain/gears
I'm replacing the timing chain and gears in my 91 302 and wondering what year timing set to buy, I think I have read that with efi460's you can buy an earlier timing set and get a little more power out of it. Can you do it with 302's to get a little gain?

doesn't matter where cause its most likely a cloyes, or federal mogul, melling blah blah chain.
The factory has some motors with retarded centerlines, mainly in the mid 70's. Like mentioned if you get a decent aftermarket chain or one with advance or retard keyways. You will be fine, depends on cam and use also.
