Looking to replace the timing chain cover on my '67 327/275 as I just discovered while cleaning it has developed some pin holes & is weeping oil. Bone stock orig. engine & I'm a little confused when looking for a replacement - what I specifically need in regards to the right size? (7",8",short,deep, etc., etc.). Also - what vendor carries the best OEM type part? No chrome! Looking for basic painted cover. Thanks
I believe you will need the one style with the welded on scale as opposed to the bolt-on scale.
Here is one example for you......

That works! Thanks man.
Depends on where the holes are, but I'd weld or braze the holes closed and use the original part.
I agree with Kurt... repair rather than replace whenever possible.. :)
Got it. Coming off this weekend and will inspect to see what I can do to keep the orig. unit - Thanks
