    1968 340 timing

    Correct. The way I installed the distributor is the only way it will work tower 5 o clock. The vacuum connect to the distributor is so close to the fire wall....it can't be set at 6 o clock....it will hit the fire wall. I'm pretty sure it set it right years ago. This weekend I'll double check...

    1968 340 timing

    Not sure on the balancer. Purchased the car with this set up. I do understand that timing tabs did switch over from pass to driver (1969/70 maybe). The way my water pump/power steering are located driver side. No way a timing tab would work on the driver side.
