Make sure you DO NOT get just any gen 1 timing set. You need a timing set for "factory roller cam"
If you don't want to spend more than $10 or $20 bucks just keep the stock timing set up and buy a cam pin bushing kit. They work very well. If you find that your cam is not in phase with the crank as per cam card you can correct it with the cam pin offset bushing and also that brings the optispark back to dead-nut-on perfect. Most machine shops can drill the oversized hole in the cam sprocket for the bushing kit.
Oh, and RTV a quarter or better yet a 50-cent piece to the water pump drive shaft hole.
