Timing Chain 75 450slc
Hello, I have recently purchased a beautiful 75 450slc with 150k on it. I am going through the regular new purchase maintenance moves and changing out old hoses and fuel lines. I have noticed the car running a bit rough at idle lately and I suspect it's vacuum related, but I am going to change out the wires and plugs just in case. I have also been considering changing out the timing chain, but I can't determine the difficulty of this procedure and I am not sure I want to DIY it. Any thoughts on that particular job? Is the chain of the interruptive vareity?
Thanks,
S
