Trust me they are the same. I am currently running a $23 DynaGear Double Roller
set from Advanced Auto. After being turned away from several parts houses that
said they could not get a late-model Dodge timing chain, I finally just ordered a
set for a 1973 Dodge Charger w/318. Comparing the early model (LA) version to my
magnum-360 chain....they were identical other than the new DynaGear having two
sets of gears w/a chain w/rollers between the links. Its been working like a
charm - and much tighter than the stock one from Mopar.
I have pictures of the two side-by-side. If anyone is interested - I'll post
links.
