ok guys i have a 305 tbi in my 89 bird and it has a 6inch balencer and i am puttin in a 350 that wiill have an 8 inch balancer and i don't have a timming cover that has the timming pointer in the middle of the cover so i can see it cause rigth now i have a chome cover with the pointewr thats off to the side but i realized when i put the power steering pump on its gonna be blocked witch means do timming light. so does anyone know where i can buy a timming cover for an 8in balencer with the pointer on the middle of the cover??i am stumped here and the engine is ready to go in

 

Most of the aftermarket timing tabs I've seen are similar to the factory tab on the left side of the engine.

 

Get some degreed balancer tape and make your own timing reference marker.

 

yes i know that the after market tabs are to the laeft cause i have one and i also have the tape. but wut i was asking was where can i buy a cover with the tab in the center because with the one to the left it is covered by the powersteering pump and and u can't use a timming gun.

 

I just did a 305 to 350HO swap in my '89 Bird and used an adjustible Mr. Gasket pointer for an 8" balancer. I can still see to adjust timing, I just have to look in at a different angle. I couldn't find ANYONE who made a cover with a integral central timing tab.

 

now can u get a timming light on it or no??

 

No problem. I stand over the left fender and look just over the power steering pump and under the water pump. I have a good view of the timing tab and about 1/4 of the balancer.
