Tarry99 thanks for the help but i already had her torn down before you posted.
Just a little update. i did find some aluminum shavings in the timing cover and the little lip above the crank was worn down a little. I still haven't found the tolerance for the edelbrock chain but my fsm says 7/8" is max deflection in the chain i had 1". The new chain is literally just a hair shorter so I'm keeping my fingers crossed but doubt this was the real problem.
I would have had it back together yesterday but wifey decided to fall through the ceiling from the attic so i had to put things away and take care of her. I'll post up if the knocking/ slapping comes back. Otherwise thank you all for the help
Spike
First off I hope your wife is doing better...........
I am assuming that you are replacing both gears and the timing chain as a set?
I was hoping that before you tore it apart by checking the timing at the crank and the Distributor that at least you would have a reference point of before and after the replacements...............Let us know if this fixes the problem.
