Default Timing chain set

Have to change the timing chain on my 70 454 due to slop...

What is a good replacement timing set that will fit without any mods..there are many options out there...summit, ecklers, ...I am interested in good quality and quiet.

This is a street car that does get punched every once in a while.

TIA

For a good compromise in price and no compromise in quality Cloyes makes pretty good stuff. They also (or use to) make the "Summit" timing chain sets as well.

Cloyes is worth the money.

Will I have any problems if I go with a double roller? I believe that stock is single roller.

A double roller will work fine and is a nice upgrade in strength.
