Default will a 65-66 tri power work with a PTC121 timing cover

I was wonder if a 65 or 66 tri power intake will fit with a 69-7? timing cover?

It is a BOP Engineering PTC 121

Thanks

You should have no problem finding a timing cover that does have the dimple.

Is it possible to change a timing cover and get everything sealed up.
Do I have to loosen oil pan to get it out? ( old sbc guy)

Thanks

Yes, you can do it w/o dropping the oil pan.
Remember to torque the damper bolt to at least 160lb/ft.
