Jegs Brand timing cover

[70Dart340V8]

Has anyone used/using the jegs brand timing cover for the SB V8? I was replacing my water pump when I saw my that a corner of my timing cover has corroded away and is no longer good. Jegs has their brand for $70.99. They also (as well as Summit) have a mopar brand one for $133.97. I've had no issue in the past with Summit brand parts but I haven't gotten very many things from Jegs so I'm not sure how their quality is.

^^^What he said...Mancini = reputable source...

That being said, I have used the timing covers for SB Fords from both Summit and Jeg's...they didn't leak and bolted down fine. Can't recall who on this site said it, but....

pick your parts, pay your money...

Same source that is selling EQ heads here in Vegas...I am working just around the corner from them.

Damn--I didn't even look at the ebay ad to be perfectly honest--that's a good deal if it fits and doesn't leak. If that's the same source for the EQ heads, do you think they might be cast down under?

Cool, I didn't even know you could buy these new :glasses7:

i have tried to use the one on ebay but it did not match my oil pan on the bottom circle part. brand new and could not make it fit, took it off put the used one back on with no issues. i can tell by the up side down MA near the crank hole. this was a few years back but be warned, cheap isnt always good. i would go with mancini's

 

[70Dart340V8]

That's a good price on that cover. I'll definitly go through them then. This just means my total spend on this fix will be further away from the "wife will kill me" range ;)

I didn't either! Here I was keeping my eye open for a cheap used one for my extra 318 but now when I need one I may as well buy new!

I picked one up at a "recycled parts store" for my 360 for about $25.00. It was already off the car.

Is there any difference between LA & Magnum timing covers?

They may have blocked off the fuel pump mount for the magnum as they were EFI...

 

[txstang84]

As krazy said above...no provision for fuel pump on a magnum timing cover...and I can't recall off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure the water pumps can't be interchanged between the two...i.e., you can't put an LA pump on a magnum, or vice versa.

That's correct...

I didn't see anything on CL in my area and I don't really feel like taking the time going to a junk yard looking for one only to save like $30 (excluding gas money)
