I need an original GM, 8" BB timing cover. Please no repro's or re-welded tabs on 7" covers. Been there already

I will take a look Bill But not sure if I have any left.I assume you are looking for a 69 solid lifter one. I may have sold the last two on e-bay. I am confused on the tab reweld on a 7". The correct 69/70 8" square port cover uses a totally different tab than the 7" so moving a 7 inch would still have the wrong tab and you would have to destroy a good 8" to get the right tab.Am I reading this right??

I think ZIP products sells just the '69-style 8" tab separately, and I've seen a few that have used the ZIP tab to make an 8" cover.

WOW am I ever out of touch with what goes on today. I would never think they would repo a timing tab for that purpose but obviously they have.Thanks Ed for making me aware.

Yes sir that is the one we are looking for. Hopefully I will have one left in the pile for Bill.Yours off a 70 by any chance Rick. Most of the 69 ones I had were date coded and the 70's were not. May have been different in the US.
