where is a good place to buy a timing gear that will fit my z

 

Depends if you just want a stock gear, LT4 heavy duty or a double roller like the cloyes 3145. I have my stock set if you want it. For the double roller, you'll have to get an electric waterpump. Do some searching and you'll find what you're looking for. Welcome to the site.

 

i need a stock gear for a lt1 thanks i have found this site pretty cool

 

Try the junkyard first, should have plenty there. If you wanna buy mine, pm me.

 

one more Question i purchased a timing gear from jegs but it doesn't have the water pump gear on the back if i were to buy an electric water pump would i be able to use my new gear

 

Yes you would. You don't need that wp drive gear if you have an electric waterpump. Which one did you get? Make sure it lines up correctly.

 

it is a blue racer and my dad bought it thinking it would fit but when it got to my house it wasnt the same i dont know about how well it would line up the chains have a differnt thickness would that cause ne problems

 

If it's part number 270-WG805, then it probably won't work since it says it's for big block chevys. If you have the stock LT1, then it's a small block. If you're working on the car anyways, most people would suggest upgrading the timing set to a double roller and installing an electric waterpump anyways. The chain will be more reliable and the wp will net you about 10 rwhp and should keep you cooler in traffic.

 

Ok hey thanks alot
