Timing cover suggestions?? Please!!
I purchased a timing chain earlier this year and have yet to install it. My issue is when I purchased the chain there was no note in the ad stating that it wouldn't fit behind the stock timing cover, now there is.

I want to keep the the chain but I need some suggestions on a timing cover and pointer that will work with it on my car (1991 L98).

I finally got a reply from Summit
"The cover used on that car, to clear the water pump won't allow a double roller chain. You'll need a single roller, such as CLO-C3092. A different cover won't clear the water pump."
Does this sound like B.S.? As far as I know the water pump is just a short style SBC water pump, which I know people have run double rollers with short pumps. Really instills confidence in Summits so called "Tech Dept."

I think they are full of ****.
I ordered from Jegs. Their tech guy had a clue and said that there would be no problem sitting behind the stock cover.
The guys at Summit are worthless. They are OK when you know exactly what you need to buy, but if you have any doubt, they aren't going to help you a hell of a lot.
