Re: Well I Think Its Gone
blown muffler (nasty backfire) + original 307 (nylon cam gear teeth) + timing changing = time for a chain and gear set.

I think 68C15 hit the nail on the head.

Re: Well I Think Its Gone
Is the motor knocking or ticking.Lay your ear(with a screwdriver or something)on the timing cover.If your timing chain is stretched or teeth are bad,the chain will slap the cover,especially when letting off and quieter at idle.

Re: Well I Think Its Gone
Once I had a 305 in my Chevy van I thought for sure had wiped the cam as it was smoking and popping thru the carb. I was ready to junk the whole truck when just for the heck of it I pulled off the valve covers and found that a pushrod had pluged up and since it didnt get oil to that rocker it wore the pushrod down till the rocker fell off and that intake valve didnt open anymore. A second hand rocker and a pushrod latter and I drove that truck 2 more years till it rusted out and Ill bet you could start it now and it would still go. After that repair it was brand new again .
