Curing the Astron's woeful timing(chain) waltz - with a belt

]Just wondering how the high horsepower fellas cure the astron
of its timing.....uncertainty, ya know try to time an astron that still has its dizzy and the best you can do is take an average for timing as it walks all over the place.Surely this would spell disaster on a boosted engine?
My thoughts are to use the timing belts and gear from a diesel (yeah might need to use a smaller timing belt in the absence of an injector pump)
Has anyone done this?
My assumption is it isn't the shafts causing the issue, otherwise the 4d56dohc /d4dh Hyundai astron diesel would have serious cam issues also.(and ultimately poor compression as a diesels timing is critical)
My theory is that they fixed the timing chain issues in the astron diesel , as they just changed the chain for a belt, and baffled the timing case.
