Hey ya'll I need to find that little timing indicator that bolts up to the timing chaing cover.
Does anyone know where to find them. The local parts store couldn't get one to come up on there computer. It may help to know what to call the little guy.
Thanks,

They call it a timing pointer...hope that helps your search, You can find them online pretty much anywhere.

 

a new cover may have one welded to it what year are you working on?

 

I'm building a 383 from a pre 86 block. I went with a chrome timingcover but didn't think about the timing indicator pointer. I've seensome thatattach to the right side (when facing the balancer)of the cover using the cover bolts. But where can you find those after market or OEM. Its the one which has the degrees amrked going to 15 or so BTDCto around 10 ATDC & are basically a small curved plate.
