location
ok guys...
I had a chrome Mr. Gasket version that is
supposedly right for my car. I attached it in the position you guys are
saying, which is the only position that makes any sense, looking at my
motor...
When I started the car, at idle, the timing mark
was
WAAAAYYYYYYYYY off... when shooting the
timing light, the mark was showing up at about 12 o'clock on the
damper...
So I adjusted the distributor and brought the
mark to between the 6 and 8 BTDC marks...
The idle dropped down, so I bumped it back up a
little...
Floyd, I was always under the assumption that
advanced timing would cause overheating... am I wrong on this??
Thanks for the help all, even though I'm
Chevelle-less...its much appreciated

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).

I have a 1971 El Camino engine in my 64 Impala..
any
idea where the timing tab is located??
My car is missing this piece, and
I'm wondering if advanced timing is
contributing to my overheating
problem...
Thank guys
