Big block timing cover question
Did the 66 and 68 427 high performance engines with 8 inch balancers use timing covers with the exact same timing tab?

Okay, bold and underlined italics scare me, but my Parts and Illustration catalogue lists only one cover for all big blocks 65-74: #330850
Can't vouch for the part number as being original; it could be a service replacement part number. My catalogue is the 1983 edition and #330850 may have been all you could get by that time.

Sorry to scare you Mike but thanks for the info. My concern is the actual tab itself.......................
