Default Timing Chain Cover

The years of sitting ate away the lower hose mount on the timing cover of my 73 GA. Any part number recommendations. I have a spare that is from a 76 or 77 motor and was wondering if that would work. Thanks in advance.

That will work. The timing marks may have a separate tab instead of the casted in marks on the '73. Otherwise, the ports and mounting bolts are in the same location.

They are still pretty common at swap meets and on CL. Never hurts to pick up a few spares, along with good thermostat housings.
