Timing chain on my 87 still good

I've got 330K miles on my car. Timing chain's still going. I've changed the oil regularly on this car. I can tell you that the 87 was a good year for most important stuff except brakes. But then it's all about how well the car was cared for with oil changes and not getting beat on. But if you get it started you'll hear tinkling noise if the timing chain tensioner is going bad--that's what fails which then can cause the chain to break.
