Might need the year of your car or motor to answer that.

I've used several of the Cloyes 3157.. It's a true roller and requires no clearancing of the timing cover. It's a single roller but boy what big rollers they are. I've not noticed any stretch on teardowns 3-4 years later. Might gain a few horses over the old butt link style factory chain. They're made for longevity and not so much performance although they do work well

92-94 requires the Cloyes C3228 set with the spline drive. Unless you have converted to the vented opti, then there are no options.

If your wanting to use the stock pump you can use a new gm cam gear, cloyes oversized crank gear, and a cloyes replacement chain. This is what I used on my 355 and the cam timing was right on and the chain was tight like its suppose to be.
