HI
you are doing the right thing replacing the chain I recently rebuilt a 350 that had jumped a link and damaged all of the exhaust valves on the drivers side. Here is a pic of the chain with the timing cover off (if you need a bigger pic email me ). if you are only 14 links in you have not even got to the first sprocket yet and something else is wrong.
Its a really simple job if you just take it slowly and do 2 or 3 links at a time. Ive done 5 or 6 of them now and you just have to take it slowly. Whatever you do if you get it wrong dont panic (like the hitch hikers guide). you can sort it out fairly easily. Dont try and take the timing cover off (Ive never done a 380 but assume its the same as the 350 and 450"s, just a single link chain) as you have to remove the sump to pull the oil pump cog and for that you have to remove the engine.
good luck
Barri
