Default Timing chain set question

Hi All,
I ordered a new timing chain set for my gen III 5.3 I received a set for a later Gen motor with the sensor bump on the cam gear. I don't think there is any issue with using it on my Gen III motor but thought I would ask to make sure.


Thanks

depends on the year "later gen" motor because they went to a single bolt gear to cam set up so be aware of that . I don't remember what year gen 4's did that but if You search it You'll find the info or just look at you're new timing gear . gen3's use 3 bolts holding the cam gear to the cam
