Just want to add that the OEM set will not be a roller chain and gears, and will stretch in no time flat, etc.
Get an aftermarket double-roller timing set. The one posted above will suit your 1972 429 just fine.

p.s. If you insist on using oem parts for the sake of brand loyalty, then get a 1990-up oem 460 timing chain. It is a single roller and the timing set is keyed straight up (not retarding the cam). Recommendation of this timing set assumes stock application and not high performance application motor.
