it seems all my efforts to organiz and clean it are useless i turn around and a week later there is more crap in there and messy again, the one nice thing is it doesn't look like my mother will be parking in it this year which means less snow/salt melting on the garage floor and beign let into the air!

Good choice. Cloyes makes some excellent products. I was always accused of overkill and would install their gear drive timing set in my SBC engines when I'd rebuild one.

i have looked at them but at this point i would rather spend $21 shipped rather than 95+ shipped, was looking at the one with a billit cam gear but would have been like 70+ shipping i'm happy with $21 shipped with iron cam gear and buillit crank gear and i have heard good things about them


may order some other part today idk what tho
