I can read vacuum through the FiTech handheld. That reading hasn't changed. I typically see about 14.5" when the engine is warm. I do have a mechanical vacuum gauge that I can test that against as well.

I can't be 100% positive, but I believe the timing set is what Comp Cams supplies with their complete timing kit. It's a double roller type. The engine had a 280H in it when I changed out the top end. It had the complete comp kit in it so I'm assuming it had the timing chain as well. I reused as there was no slack in the chain. I always estimated the engine only had a couple thousand miles on it when I purchased the car from the previous owner.
