Going to replace the chain in the Cutlass.

While changing the fuel pump I stuck my finger in the hole to find out it was loose. :eek:

A little too loose for my liking.

So I might as well change it before it skips or breaks

Edelbrock 7813 True double roller 70 buxx

Sealed Power CTS1005 Chain gears felpro gasket set 32 buxx

This is just a cruiser with the occasional pedal smash.

So which do I get?????




Other options??????





Edelbrock

the Edelbrock timing chains are made by Cloyes and there are some Sealed Power timing chains made by Cloyes and some of Cloyes timing chains are made in the US. I hope that helps you to make a decision.

I have used Edelbrock timing chains a few times on SBC's and they are a good quality performance double roller, the single roller Sealed Power(Federal Mogul) I would consider just to be a stock replacement.

If it ran and drove well before, the sealed power replacement chain is all you'll need. Not like you're building something needing a double-roller for peace of mind thing. Your money though, although I can't imagine that you'd wear out the new chain before the rest of the engine. We could debate the pluses and minuses of the entire thing, but you could buy two of the sealed power chains, put one up on the shelf, then when you wear out the one you put in this month in the next 30 years, you have one ready to go that's paid for. And you saved 6 dollars over the Edelbrock. I exaggerate to clarify the point.

Or use the extra 38 bucks you save and buy a set of new belts.
