"but I didn't put it on because I was going to need a new chain."
Hi GrandPrix,
how come you'd need a new chain? From context I'd suppose you had considered fitting a rear sprocket that's smaller than stock? That needs a shorter chain, not a longer one. Follow the rule of tens. Ten minutes to grind off the linkpin heads, ten minutes to remove the sideplate with a hammer and cold chisel and ten dollars to buy a new master link.
