Michael,
We have the same V-6 timing cover from JC Whitney. It
worked fine on my 215, except it didn't have a timing
mark. Without the mark it makes it somewhat difficult
to tune, and you get harrassed by others who try to
tune your car for you ( Jack E :-) ) about why you
didn't put the mark on while you had everything apart
the first time. I'll put a new mark on when the
engine is set back to TDC.
I agree that I definately don't want to mix and match
on the front bolt-ons, pulleys, water pump etc. I've
pretty well decided to use all my existing Buick
components. It's always good to get a second opinion.
