It's probably a 76-77 timing cover that used an abbreviated damper.They used a bolt on timing plate.

I'd find another timing cover myself.

Andy,
Here is a few ideas to get you by....You could
use a pointer,wire or indercater..A chevie type
may work(glue or cemment to cover) You might need
a cover to line up the location on the cover.....
I would say it's at 10 o'clock on the passenger's
side of the motor...Using that wire/pointer it could be fastened to a bolt? Location is the key..
good-luck...........Dave...1033/stock
