How do I know if I was sent the correct timing chain? When my Mom was ordering the Katech Jwiss single pattern timing chain for me. She told them that she wanted a Katech timing chain, for a 98 Z28 Camaro. She forgot to mention Jwiss, she just said Katech timing chain. The timing chain that they sent me arrived today, and the packing slip just says Chain, Timing 3/8X7/32-60L, and the part number is HME-G68VC-60, their is no mention of Jwiss on the packing slip. Therefore my questions are...
Does Katech sell more then one kind of timing chain? Or do they just sell the Jwiss chain?
Their was also a sticker on the plastic bag that the timing chain came in, that says...

Re: How do I know if I was sent the correct timing chain? There will be little "JWIS" logos on the chain links. It comes in a tiny red box.
Here, you can see the little logos stamped into my jwis chain:
