Does anyone know the part number for a timing cover that should be installed on a 1970 340 engine (not 340 six pack engine)?

Vinny,

My factory parts manual shows only one timing cover. Part number is
2951 671.

Hope this helps,

Stew

Vinny,

Surprisingly not much of a problem. I just got done sleepin' one off and the parts book was on the floor next to me where I dropped it last night. Maalox and coffee anyone?

What different about a 340 6pk engine timing cover vs. a 340 4 bbl timing cover ?

The detail that many will look for is usually the casting date.

Would the casting date for a 340-6pk would be different than a 340-4bbl built on the same day ?
