I wanted to replace the timing chain on a 66 Coronet with a 440, and the chain is a "leaf" style MORSE with 50 links, 11 plates between each link cap or 13 plates across including the link caps. The best I could find was a c-495 with 9 plates across. Anyone know what the part number or equivalent replacement would be?


Thanks,
Edmund

 

You are trying to replace JUST the chain? PLEASE do not do this. Buy a good quality (Cloyes, etc) replacement drive SET

 

But of course I have the idea of a set in mind, but first I need to know more about the chain as to why it seems much fatter than any of the replacement models and why can't I find any info on this fat model with 13 plates. Is it an original, or an aftermarket and if so, has there been any changes from stock?


So, thanks for the advice, but it is more an answer to my question that I am looking for.

 

over thinking it

 

"Fatter." Seems to me that "in the old days" there was a change in timing chains/ sprockets maybe long about 67. I know Ford did. If I remember correctly, you are OK as long as you use a matched set.

 

Differences ? Single bolt or three bolt cam sprocket ???

 

Single bolt.
To go along with this issue, the timing cover seal fits the cover but seems too big for the crank, the Timken number is 3103. Once again, is there a different model? The engine is a performance/race/"whatever dodge called it" version and not the standard.
