273 Timing marks

perfacar said
hi, the 273 had a metal timing tag fastened to the two bottom water pump bolts. it sat over the right hand side of the dampner. a timing cover from a 68-69 318/340 already has the timing marks cast into the cover on the right side. you can make a metal tab also. just food for thought.

I had to fab up a timimg tab for my 273. The stock timing tab which is bolted to the cover won't work with a later water pump which the pump outlet is located on the same side.
