Can't help you there, but get the timing chain & gears for a 1969-1970 250. The later sets retard the camshaft for emission's.
like many Q here the answ is imbeded in the Q. We go around in circles and eventually find the Q somewhat off. If the problem were stated the experienced could get right to it.
Here i wonder simple ORIGINAL type things. What shows U this is 250 motor, Y change the chain, what makes you think a ThriftPower engine has timing chain guides, & more?

1st step in any vehicle maintenance (esp when vehicle is new 2 U) is ID all major components. True for mods'n upgrades too. This is crucial in older cars as they have hada lota owners. Any of the POs could have done anything w/it.
Many here use "the Handbook":

for anything ford 6. I'd suggest a run thru of the above tech archive (free) while U await delivers:

I try not to assume anything. Facts R more helpful, but I miss a good deal. Then my garage mates hear some curse wrds
Boy, I just can't see that even tho some pic here (3 good of 6). RU sure it is a Thriftpower ("Falcon") motor?
I can go w/it if U have experience IDing these engines or use the standard ID guides ('the Handbook', above tech archive).

Ppl show me "bronk parts" that seem as if some1 walking by in the junk yrd wanted to "help" & saw something on the ground same color'n threw it in the rig - something never oem on the rig by ford in 12 yrs of manufacturing!

I don’t think so… I checked the code of the engine it was made in the US… even in the handbook there is a picture as example of the code same as mine!!
I know 200's , 250 not so much, but I think that the chain guide was not on the early narrow 3/4'' chain but was added to the later 250's when they went to the wider 1'' chain and there is one used on those.
So if you use the early narrow chain I think that the guide could be left off, of course using one would be best.
PS can you guy's not see the pic of the guide the op put in the first post, it clearly has a guide and so does the 250 I have.
