Does anyone have a picture of their 340 that might show the correct location of the timing pointer (tab)

Thank you

the tab is casted on the timing chain cover like a 318, 273. 360. 318 wide block

Oh you got to be kidding???

I see a bracket hanging down near the bottom of the balancer with an open hole on the end as if there is something missing.

Are you saying I should be looking for the pointer on the timing chain cover?

Where on the timing chain cover should I look?

Oh my, I can't believe this no wonder I can't find one anywhere

Dont forget to pull the vac line off the distributor and plug it to set the base timing
