318 timing set q
I have a 1978 dodge ram 5.2 that I am putting 1985 5.2 motor in, while adding the fuel pump cam I noticed the timing chain had about ½+ inch slack in it, so I ordered a new set and wouldn’t ya know it also has about a ½ inch slack in it. it was ordered on line (cloyes). Is this normal or should it be tight?

It should be tight, Cloyes catalog says center dimension is 6.125", adding -5 to P/N is .005" shorter, -10 is .010" shorter.
Was this ordered on line from Cloyes or someone on line selling Cloyes 2nds? Hopefully you have recourse.
