got to see timing chain today--no wonder motor backfired--chain had 3/4 to 1 inch stretch--could move crank 2 teeth either way before cam moved--30k on speedometer--original plastic cam gear(I think) etc,-installing gear drive this weekend (I know the associated arguments on this idea) with all new hoses, water pump,carb and intake and rebuilt distributer--bet it runs better--haven't seen the need for new lower ball joints yet--but someone on ebay has a set for 245--anyone comment on that being a good investment? I read all the balljoints can be drilled and tapped with zerk fittings--never have done that--any special suggestions?
