Question True Double Roller timing chain and gears

Does anybody know of a good deal on one of these setups. Mine would be a bit unique. I'm looking for one that doesn't have to have the water pump sproket on the cam gear as I'm getting an electric water pump. Also, it has the have the fitting for the opti dowel pin as I have a 1994 setup.

Thanks much!!!

Get a cloyes double roller for $80.

Contrary to what people have said, I didn't have to grind the timing cover....mine is a 95.

Re: True Double Roller timing chain and gears

Yeah .... I actually found summit brand true double roller timing chains that would work on a 95+ setup for 40$ However, I have a 94 with that STUPID dowel pin so it costs me $350 for one

Anybody got any great ideas? I could perhaps redo the whole ignition again with a 95+ setup.... but then I need a different cam as well right???

Thanks
