# Edelbrock Timing Chain And Gear Set AMC 290-401 Edelbrock part #7818 Performer-Link timing chain is for use with Edelbrock or stock cams. They have a solid-bushing chain for a true bearing surface that rolls with the sprockets, eliminating chain stretch. Cam sprockets are made from 35,000 psi tensile strength cast iron. Crank sprockets are made from billet SAE-1144 steel and induction heat treated. Four Performer-Link sets are stock replacement parts and 50-state legal (see listings in bold type). All other sets have three keyway setting points to ensure accurate timing selection for early or late-model vehicles. Performer-Link timing sets are not for use above 6500 rpm- ? Performer roller chain sets are engineered to operate up to 6500 rpm.- ? Never hammer directly on chain or sprockets. You can crack the hardened links and pins and cause early failures. - ? Use a sleeve for installations that require hammering, a brass drift punch may be used if you carefully alternate blows on either side of the sprocket to avoid cocking. - ? Never stretch the chain with a screwdriver. - ? Check for clearance between the timing chain and block and between the chain and front cover before reassembly. - ? Be sure that both cam and crank sprockets are exactly in line with each other. Misalignment can cause chain to break - True Bearing Surface Rolls with the Sprockets This Part Fits: Year Make Model Submodel 1966-1967 American Motors Ambassador 880 1966-1967 American Motors Ambassador 990 1968-1970 American Motors Ambassador Base 1971-1974 American Motors Ambassador Brougham 1968-1971 American Motors Ambassador DPL 1968-1972 American Motors Ambassador SST 1967-1968 American Motors American 220 1967-1968 American Motors American 440 1967-1968 American Motors American Rogue 1968-1970,1978-1979 American Motors AMX Base 1978-1979 American Motors Concord Base 1979 American Motors Concord DL 1979 American Motors Concord Limited 1972-1975 American Motors Gremlin Base 1976 American Motors Gremlin Custom 1977 American Motors Hornet AMX 1970-1971,1973-1977 American Motors Hornet Base 1971 American Motors Hornet SC/360 1971-1977 American Motors Hornet Sportabout 1970-1972 American Motors Hornet SST 1971-1974 American Motors Javelin AMX 1968-1974 American Motors Javelin Base 1968-1972 American Motors Javelin SST 1970 American Motors Javelin SST Mark Donohue 1970 American Motors Javelin SST Trans Am 1971-1978 American Motors Matador Base 1974 American Motors Matador Brougham 1974 American Motors Matador X 1978 American Motors Pacer Base 1979 American Motors Pacer DL 1979 American Motors Pacer Limited 1969 American Motors Rambler 440 1969 American Motors Rambler Base 1969 American Motors Rambler Hurst SC/Rambler 1969 American Motors Rambler Rogue 1967-1968 American Motors Rebel 550 1967-1968 American Motors Rebel 770 1969-1970 American Motors Rebel Base 1967-1970 American Motors Rebel SST 1970 American Motors Rebel The Machine 1979 American Motors Spirit Base 1974-1983 Jeep Cherokee Base 1981-1982 Jeep Cherokee Chief 1981 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 1983 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer 1974-1980 Jeep Cherokee S 1978-1980 Jeep Cherokee Wide Track 1975-1983 Jeep Cherokee Wide Track Chief 1979-1980 Jeep Cherokee Wide Track Golden Eagle 1980-1983 Jeep Cherokee Wide Track Laredo 1980 Jeep Cherokee Wide Track Limited 1972-1981 Jeep CJ5 Base 1977-1980 Jeep CJ5 Golden Eagle 1980-1981 Jeep CJ5 Laredo 1975-1981 Jeep CJ5 Renegade 1972-1975 Jeep CJ6 Base 1976-1981 Jeep CJ7 Base 1977-1979 Jeep CJ7 Golden Eagle 1980 Jeep CJ7 Golden Hawk 1980-1981 Jeep CJ7 Laredo 1976-1981 Jeep CJ7 Renegade 1972 Jeep Commando Base 1984-1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Base 1984-1985 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Limited 1972-1973 Jeep J-2500 Base 1972-1973 Jeep J-2600 Base 1974-1988 Jeep J10 Base 1974-1988 Jeep J20 Base 1972-1982 Jeep Wagoneer Base 1982-1983 Jeep Wagoneer Brougham 1973-1976 Jeep Wagoneer Custom 1979-1983 Jeep Wagoneer Limited ## Details - **Price:** 203.43 CAD - **Vendor:** Edelbrock - **Type:** Timing Chains ## Variants | Variant | Price | Available | |---------|-------|-----------| | Default Title | 203.43 CAD | In stock | ## Images - Photo - Primary - Photo - Primary - User 1 - User 4 - Photo - Unmounted - Photo - out of package - User 3 --- > Source: [Standard Auto Part](https://www.standardautopart.com/products/edelbrock-timing-chain-and-gear-set-amc-290-401) > Updated: 2026-06-27
