If timing chain has been installed incorrectly on 1985 z24 can it be changed without removing all of the timing gear covers?
No. If you have incorrectly installed the timing components, you must completely disassemble all your work, and then, using a mechanics guidance, replace them in the proper position.

What work was recently done to the vehicle? An incorrectly installed CMP or CKP sensor could be the culprit, along with a bad coil or misaligned distributor. If the distributor has been recently replaced or removed, ensure that the rotor is pointed at the 8 and not the 6 at #1 cylinder compression TDC. The distributor body has marks so that it can be used in both the Vortec V8 and V6, and installing it incorrectly could cause severe timing advance, which would be made bad enough to stall the vehicle (or damage the engine) when vacuum or electronic advance comes into play

If the electrical system has been installed incorrectly or there is a MAJOR fault, then yes. Extremely unlikely to happen as there are many levels of redundancy and failsafes built in to modern showers. If you are concerned, get it checked by an electrician.

Timing order 350v8 85' Chevy Caprice on distributor?
The firing order on most GM V8 engines is 1-8-6-3-5-4-7-2. On the distributor cap, if the distributor shaft and timing chain have been properly installed, the number one terminal is closest to the carburetor or throttle body. CORRECTION!!! 18436572 is the correct firing order
