Default 69 L-78 Timing Cover

Can anyone tell me if this is a correct cover for a 69 L-78?

Pretty sure 1969 did not use a serrated timing tab.

That is not it. That one is 70's .I just sold two 69 dated ones on e-bay in the last three weeks off 69 l-72's which are the same as what you need. This was one.I am not sure if I have another extra but will check for you.

No Sir the one you posted is not it either. That one has a circle stamped on the right side of the cover and the tab is too wide and does not have the right angle cut on it.That one is newer also. If it was correct it would not be at 9.99.Here is the tab you need with AOR on it

FYI, I have a 70' CKO L-78 Long Block assembled 11/69 with similar as 3macs1 has shown. w/o checking again, not sure if mine has small openings where tab has 90'bend.
