L/A 68-69 340 timing cover

68mopar said

I am looking for the correct timing cover for my 68 340. The one on the car has timing marks (molded in) and correct balancer on the driver side which is impossible to get the timing light on. I would like to get the correct pass side cover and balancer for my 68. I have seen some that have a separate timing tab and some like yours that are molded for the pass side. Do you which is correct for an early 68 gts 340? Also, do you have a correct balancer?

Early 68 (and most 68s in my opinion) would have the cover with the separate bolt on timing tab.

When you mention wanting a correct "pass side cover", are you referring to needing a 340 specific valve cover for the pass side?

In 68 the 318 and 340 valve covers on the passenger side are essentially the same other than a wire holding channel (340) vs a wire holding tab (318 ). These are the alternator wires I'm referring to.

That channel can easily be made and installed on a 318 valve cover.
