Dan, The timing tab can be anywhere you want to put it as long as you then use that position to establish true TDC of piston #1 on the dampener and mark the dampener accordingly. Factory placement for both SB and BB chevys is drivers side of the timing chain cover (about 1:00 or 2:00). If you buy an aftermarket bolt on it will use two bolts on the drivers side of the timing chain cover and when bolted on should be real close (provided the mark on your dampener is correct).
