Re: Where to find LT1 timing chain ???
I was looking at the lunati also PN:LUN-93094 . I have a CSR waterpump
already installed so the cheaper the better ....kinda . Hows the chain slack on the lunati set ?

Since you have an electric wp, get a true double roller from Summit, $42 when I got mine and arguable the most indestructable type of timing chain setup. You'll have to clearance your timing cover slightly, but it's well worth your time. Part# SUM-G6601
It's only $36 now! damn!
edit: you have a 94 and have probably not upgraded to a vented opti...nevermind this entire idea. My advice: upgrade!

I'm in a bit of a bind here, looking for an adjustable timing set for a 93.

Re: Where to find LT1 timing chain ???
A regular SBC chain won't work folks. You have to use an LT1 style top sprocket because of the spur gear to drive the opti. If you want to go through the hassle of swapping to a vented opti, you can, but I kept my unvented, and bought a Lunati chain for a '93-'94 LT1. My new chain had wayyy too much slop in it, so I ended up buying a Cloyes oversized crank sprocket. Now the chain has very little slack.

Re: Where to find LT1 timing chain ???
My previous post, as my edit indicates, talks about the Summit $36 double roller chain ONLY working for vented optis. 12SCNDZ is right, for the spline driven optis it will not work.
