Different strokes for different folks.
But the Cloyes timing chain was simple and awesome in the Boss Bird. It got way more abuse than normal:
valvesprings over 1000# open
exhaust valves opening against combustion pressure
driving a 26 gpm fuel pump
and driving an MSD 44 amp magneto (the magnets are so strong in these that you need an 8" wrench on the shaft to turn one "by hand")
FWIW,
