Question Timing set install for stock lt1 question

I have a cloyes double roller setup to install. it has the multiple keyways and I was wondering if stock setup is advanced at all so I should set it forward or backward a couple degrees. oOr is it just - 0 - ???

Just making sure before I go ahead and do it.

My stock setup has some slack in it but looks pretty good. I noticed the links are a lot tighter and a totally different design then the cloyes chain. How much slack is acceptable for a good timing chain and are there any tips I should know before doing it?


I also need to know what I should put in or around the "key" that I am installing in my crank hub. Somone said to use anti-seize compound. How much and where? On the key and on the hubs inner surface?

I always double check before I tear stuff apart...

Should be set at zero. You did't get a standard sbc double roller set up did you?

no I bought one that is known to fit. I am converting to an electric water pump now too.
