The '68 chevy didn't use a timing belt, it used a timing chain. Just
like all the REAL American cars! Personally I wish they all still did. I
hate these stupid rubber timing belts! All they're good for is generating
revenue for the delaers when they slip or break and you end having to buy
half of a new engine or a new car.
