Chain & Gear & Other Recommendations '69 400 CID

What is considered the best/accurate timing chain and gear set for a '69 400 CID?

Water pump?

Fuel pump?

Rattle can and also a brushable 400 bronze engine paint?

Thanks!

I have always used Cloyes timing sets. They are as good as you can get. For your engine all you need is the stock replacement timing set.

Thanks Bill appreciate the input, then we're looking for the Cloyes C 3082 as this is maintenance on a fully stock/original car.

Thornton's has the paint and water pump.

I've got 2 extra cans I think of the 400 paint from OPGI.

I can verify here in a bit, but if you want them let me know.
