Sometimes good used one will pop up on Ebay, not expensive. Or you can just buy aftermarket. Looks and works the same but without the Chrysler logo. Summit, Jegs,  Manncinni Racing and many more carries it.

Take a look. I can't see from the picture clearly if it has a Chrysler logo but ad has a Mopar part number. I replaced my corroded original with an aftermarket one a few years back. I think it was made in Mexico.

not shure if its a chrysler part?  will aftermarket fit well?  bb ones are usually not fit well so thats why i go for a chrysler brand

Fits good for my 340.

I could probably help you out with  a clean factory original one..

Did the 70's have the integral timing indicator?

1970, 71 and up is the one I've shown in above post
1969 , perhaps late 68 340 had the timing mark on other side as shown top picture here.
1968 340 was blank but used the metal indicator shown .

Thanks! My first 340 was out of a 68 and had that removeable pointer; that's why I wondered.
