Sorry for the late reply. It's just a bog standard stock chain out of a low pro 390 in a 1969 ford XL. The chain i know is not a double roller.

The chain i took out had a pretty aggressive amount of slop, and so did the one i put in. When putting a timing light on it, the indicator jumps all over the place. And with a wrench on the crank and the cap off the rotor takes 15-17 degrees of movement on the crank before it moves.
