    I forget but I think I remember reading somewhere that theirs a modification you need to do to the timing cover in order to use the doubble roller. Does anyone know?

    I was using a single for buget purpouses but with the cam i'm using my machinest said I need to use a chain with a 9* key way in order to degree the cam and the only chains for buick with a 9* key way is a doubble roller. So now i'm going with that and about $150 more in the hole, damm:Dou:

    Thanks ~ VIN

    Double Roller timing interference

    You will probably have a problem with the fuel pump lever rubbing on the timing chain.

    The holes on the fuel pump can be elongated to move the pump forward about 1/8" or so. You might also have to bend the lever a little.

    It was a simple fix on mine. Just used a small barrell bit for the die grinder and made the mounting holes on the fuel pump oblong. Make the holes a little larger so the pump will slide a little closer to the radiator. 1/8 inch is about all you need. I didn't have to bend the arm on mine buy some may be different.
