    Hi. My 65 Lesabre is coming close to the 100k mark.
    Is there a need to replace the timing chain and gears at this point?

    my gs had the timing chain & gears replaced at 115000 mi .
    it was time . chain was stretched & cam gear was worn .
    also , an old champion spark plug was found rattling around in the timing cover .
    make the change & save yourself a bundle of $$ in the future .

    That is an original experimental (should have an X on it ) factory spark plug! Should be worth at least $100 on ebay.:laugh:

    Thanks for the input I will take care of this over the winter.
    It's a nice little motor easy to work on.
