Yes = Chevrolet Orange. If you have have the original timing cover the timing tab should be welded to it, which makes it a little hard to paint separately. :)

Timing tabs were painted Chevy orange. Some in the hobby have tried to say otherwise but this is not true. I have examined many survivor cars over the past 20 years or so and all timing tabs were painted. I also have some original engine photos that show the same thing.

Do you have photos of a '68 396/375 timing tab?
