Operation /6 - Where do I begin? Fix it or yank it?

Great info so far. I will definitely find someone local who can do those tests.

After reading the response, I went out an took a look. There is definitely a lot of slop in the chain.

Does that happen with all of them and could that have been the problem? I'm not lucky enough to throw a timing kit on there and get away with it. My luck is terrible.

I'm going to look again and see if I can figure out where the timing marks are. This is all very foreign to me.

Thanks again for taking the time to help.
