Obviously I need the chain, gasket and gasket sealer. Autozone has 2 that fit my car but they're slightly different. I don't know which one to get...
- Part # C - 385, just says "timing chain" and is black.
- Part # C385 says "64 link" and is a brass color.
Also, Do I automatically need a new damper the way you automatically put a new gasket seal in? I'm not sure what the damper is.
Should I automatically put a new timing cover seal in too?
Thanks.

you don't automatically need a new damper. The timing cover gasket set will come with a timing seal, and should be replaced. Why let it go bad later if you have a new one, right? Talk to your parts guy and he can find the right one for you.
