Timing chain on the 73 snapped. Is this easy to fix? I've started to take off the timing chain cover, but still ne a harmonic balanver puller to get the pulley off. After that, I'm not sure what to do. I know I have to set the timing to TDC. Adjust the tensioner. Should I replace both chains and all gears ( $115 ) Or just the one chain ( $12 ) Any thoughts? This is the truck I grew up in since 1973. Everyone always told me to junk it. Nope! This is a prized possession!
Just pulled the timing pulley off. And got the timing chain cover off. But the teeth on the gear look a little chipped. Also the chain guide was worn and broke off. Will post pics. Thoughts and comments appreciated.
