Is this pointer really a Y-block item? Did some come like this or just single points? Chuck in NH

I think my truck had that kind of pointer when I got it. I don't remember so many points, though. Now the truck was an I6 off of the assembly line so I have no clue where the engine came from. It had C0AE heads and the large base 2bbl manifold so it may have been out of something late '59 to '64.

Chuck, See if there's any kind of a part number stamped on it anywhere.

My engine has a multiple pointer, but it doesnt look anything like the one in the pic, having only one right angle instead of the three shown. It has 4 points for 0,3,6 and 10 degrees. The damper also has factory timing marks up to 10 degrees, so, if I dont get mixed up the advance vs. rpm can be figured up to 20 degrees. No idea where exactly it came from.

With my old eyes I'd like to have a complete pointer like the picture. Looking at the bolt pattern I don't think this will bolt on a Y-Block. Might be SB Ford? Chuck in NH

Chuck. You just gotta get out more. The pictured pointer is for a scrub.

Thanks Ted. But even when I'm out I don't look at scrubs! I thought it was. Did any of the Y-Blocks have a similar pointer? Chuck in NH

The timing pointer I mentioned probably came from a 1960 car which I pulled the motor on way back.

Anything made by GM but specificaly Che*y's. It a Jerry Christiansen(?) thing that has caught on across the Y-Block community. Chuck in NH
