if I were you I would drag that gear drive out of there and install a quality timing gear set. maybe even change the cam if you want but then there is valve train and lifters to deal with as well so more work to do. you could simply drive it like it is and fix that later. you still should get it running properly so it at least idles.

I was just talking to my buddy about it and he said to pull that timing gear off and put a good double roller on there instead. I don't want my truck to sound like that since i just put a new exhaust on it with dynomax super turbos. I've lined up a good contact to do the timing & carb tuning but that will now be delayed until I can get this cam gear swapped out.
