To rebuild the distributor on a 1987 Chevy 305, start by removing the distributor from the engine. Once removed, take off the cap and rotor, and inspect or replace the ignition module and pickup coil if necessary. Clean all components, replace worn parts, and reassemble the distributor. Finally, reinstall the distributor, ensuring it is properly timed with the engine.

Since this category is 305-350, I'll have to assume that YOUR engine is one of the two mentioned. The 1990 Chev 305 and 350 did not use a timing belt. They used a timing chain, and unless something really odd happened, you should never need to replace the timing chain until you rebuild the engine.

yes.
