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

Thank you
Joe.

 

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

 

right here ....

 

see the upper right of the crank seal. that funny lookin block thats it

 

Oh man, unbelievable!
I guess is kinda goes without saying.... My timing is way off! LOL

Thanks guys, I can't tell ya how relieved I am to know I can now set the timing.

Thank you both very much!!
Joe.

OH, what should I set it at LOL

 

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

 

10 deg BTDC is spec I think correct me anyone if its not - good place to start anyway

 

i know the 69 with 10.5 comp stick TDC. auto 5 deg. b4
