Timing chain cover 8"

[bigchevydaddy]

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.

Dated for 1970 useage.

I guess my original wanted post sounded accusatory. I didn't mean to suggest someone on SYC would sell a fake cover, but you never know who will respond to a wanted ad. I said it, because I already bought one fake cover. I went to blast the paint off it and the glued on tab, FELL OFF !! I did get the purchase price back, but also learned something new. Someone is moving tabs out and gluing them back to fit the 8" balancer. Now I know what to look for, and the specific shape the tab should be. I'm amazed at what some guys will do to make a couple bucks

I have an 8" timing chain cover that was chromed that is dated 31 69. Is there a way to get the chrome off with out messing up the timing cover or just paint over the chrome? Also does the 31 69 mean that it was made the 31st day of 1969 or is it march 1st 1969???
