I am looking for a decent price on a timing chain cover for the 90 rebuild. After looking many places they all seem to be from $120 to $150, is this the normal rate. Seems high for a piece of aluminum, or I am looking in the wrong places.

I can find several places that have the carbed and the one with the dipstick hole in the cover for under a $100.

Just wondering if anyone had got a better price for the EFI replacement and where you got it.

Check 50resto, Craigslist, eBay, and maybe Summit Racing and/or Jegs. I know I've seen them on one or more of those between $40 to $60 on average. Whoever's charging $150 for a timing cover is smoking crack, unless it's some kinda custom formed deal to make room for timing gears or some Über-fatty double-roller chain setup.

Yeah these are the prices I was finding. I am sure I am looking at the right thing. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Although will this work? It says for trucks and vans. Also not the same number as I have see elsewhere.

50 resto. $15 dollars shipping are they crazy!
