1978 Chevy Truck V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic N/A miles

My truck is equipped with a small block 350 engine. I just need to know how much slack is acceptable in the timing chain. If it makes any difference, it has a double roller set in there currently. Any help is appreciated. Thanx!

looking at the timing chain, there should be no slack on the right side, the left side will have slack, but not very much, considering it is a double roller.
