That is for JUST the chain.

I'm looking for a set with both gears and the chain

Am i missing something or is there a reason only the chain seems to be available?

your right. My apologies. I've always refered to them as chains when they always included the gears. In fact I never knew that a chain could be sold individually sans the gears until I sought a timing chain and gears for this olds.

I'm still looking for a timing chain and gears/ spockets... for a 55 oldsmobile.

Does anybody know where I can find a timing chain set/ kit for a 55 olds?

No, it's single roller, will work fine on a stock engine. My goal was to install something better while I had it apart.
