problem with new timing chain and drving the opti

If you have a 1994, like your name says, someone told you wrong. If you are using the stock splined drive, unvented opti, your only choice for timing gears are stock ones. You must have the splines on the cam gear to turn the opti.

Call Jason Cromer and ask him for the 95+ opti conversion kit. He'll give you a vented opti, 95+ timing cover, opti pigtail harness and vacuum lines for around $360 or $380 (can't remember which). Then you can run whatever timing set you want (remember to clearance the inside of the timing cover if you go with a double roller) and an electric water pump.

How can i get a hold of him because I plan on doing cam and heads this spring. I definitely want to get a heavy duty timing gear set.

You don't need to change to a vented opti if you're swapping a cam, but it's a good time to do the swap since everything is off anyways. The main reason why I did it was because the vented opti is about $100 cheaper than the non-vented opti.
I'm not sure of what the individual part numbers are for the swap offhand...I can probably post them tomorrow since I have to dig out that receipt tonight so I can send my junk opti back.

Why wouldn't I need to change to a vented opti if I'm swapping the cam. I planned on putting a double roller timing chain in there, so wouldn't I need to convert my non-vented opti to a vented opti and also take out all the water pump gear dowel. I'm confused, so can someone clarify it for me please.

Sorry for the confusion.
