Well I pulled my timing cover to replace the gasket when much to my surprise, my timing chain has so much play in it that it's almost eaten all the way through the cover. So now I need a new timing set and cover.
NAPA has a couple of affordable options for the timing set:
Light duty

Heavy duty

I'm still limping along on the stock 305ci engine, so am I right in thinking the light duty is plenty?
They also have this timing cover:

Any reason that cover won't work?
I'm just trying to get a few more years out of this motor until I can drop in a crate 350ci, so I don't need the best and most expensive parts in the world.
