Technical SBC Finned Timing Cover Question

Could someone tell me if a finned aluminum Weiand timing cover will fit on a stock SBC engine with a stock water pump? Thanks in advance

 

Maybe with the long pump but most likely not with the short one.

 

does it look like this? with the hole for the injector pump?

 

Call Holley, they own Weiand they should be able to tell you.

Yes it does...

 

Thanks, good idea!

 

Since it has a hole for an injector pump, it's not designed to be used with a water pump, at all. But if you use a long water pump, as suggested earlier, it should clear.

 

Thanks for the info...

 

I have a Enderle cover and a long water pump wouldnt clear. With water pump spacers and a long water pump you could get it to clear but with the injector block off plate on it was another 1/4"or 3/8" taller. Mine was in bad shape, one of the ears broken off so I cut it up to clear a water pump riser but still alot of work. They do look good polished with f.i bed valve cover though.

 

If NOT using the fuel pump drive , Make sure to use a Cam Button .

 

Ask @Mitchell Rish he is using one in this post https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/prefect-willys-gasser-build.958167/page-26#post-13958434

 

if you're using a roller cam, then yes, you need to. But not necessary with a flat tappet cam.
