The chains for the 230, 250 and 280 are all the same.

Yes all the 230, 250 280 SE, SL straight 6 cyl mechanically fuel injected engines use the same 134 link doble row timing chain.  The carbureted 230, 250, 280 engines use a shorter chain.

Thanks Joe. You're right, i only looked at chains for the injected models.
To make things clear.
Partnumber A0009974694: chain for the 230, 250 and 280 injected engines.
Partnumber A0009977094: chain for the 230, 250 and 280 carbureted engines.
