Timing Chain & Edelbrock Cam

[hakstooy]

Trying to install my Edelbrock cam (been delayed a few times) and I got to thinking about the timing chain: the Edelbrock directions claim that I should use the Edelbrock timing chain (I'm figurin this is just so I'll buy it) and that it won't work with a late model timing chain due to retarded gears or something.

I have an 83 302 in my Bronco, is this engine considered "late"? Can I just use the same timing chain (it only has 7000 miles on it) or do I have to buy the Edelbrock one?

%) %) %) You can use it but the other one is a double roller and a better choice if you alredey have a double roller dont worry about it they want you to use all there parts just good co. policy they make more money and also dont want a old chaine on a new cam good luck.8) 8) 8) Bill 8) %)
