There were actually two timing cover styles used in 1960. Both were steel/tin. One was the standard cover for the 352-2V and the 4V engine. It has a "degreed" timing pointer. The other timing cover was unique to the 360 horse HP352. It looks externally like the '58 332/352 cover. The timing pointer/indicator is designed to clear the larger HP harmonic balancer. It's not degreed.
What I've found to be different between the '60 HP cover and the '58 covers is internal where the thrust button rides. The '58 cover will not work with your '60 cam without some modification to the early cover.
I've not torn down a '59 332/352, yet. You never know. But what I don't know is what style of camshaft thrust button was used in '59. The two '58 engines I've been inside of have a smaller thrust button than the '60-'62 engines.
So....a '59 cover might work. But to be sure, I'd look for a '60 "funky-looking" steel cover.
From '61 on the aluminum timing cover was used. |
