The earlier ones had a bolt on tab that was on the passenger side, the later had it made to the cover and was on the drivers side. Someone had yours off and didnt put it back.



Correct. The odd ball is the '69 timing chain cover. That was a one year cover that had the marks cast into the passenger's side.

I recently bought a '68 and earlier "timing pointer" so I could use a '70 and up timing chain cover and still set the timing from the passenger's side.
