Could not find to much doing a search.
I have a 92 5.0 engine which I am putting into another vehicle (non stang)

I need to use a reverse flow or bi-directional passenger inlet water pump...which I have sourced.
This creates a problem with the timing pointer (stock 11 o'clock position) as it will be covered by the water pump inlet.So I need to move the pointer to the 2 o'clock position. I know there are harmonic balancers that are indexed to use both the 11 and 2 o'clock pointer positions.

My questions -
Is there an after market pointer which can be attached at the 2 o'clock position on a stock timing cover?

If no to the above, is there an after market timing cover that has a 2 o'clock pointer mountand is also a reverse flow cover?
I know there are some which mount the pointer at the 2 o'clock but none that I have found are reverse flow.

I know I could use timing tape and make my own pointer but I was looking for something a bit cleaner

Thanks

What I have noticed is that there are several Ford small blocks that use the same timing cover reguardless if it is reverse flow or standard. Some older late 60's early 70's blocks were cast a bit differently up front (hence the use of that funky Felpro timing cover gasket that every one uses that has that wierd left corner extension) and some of those matching timing covers were flow dependant. It seems like ever scince the water pump plate has round holes, it doesn't matter what cover is used. If the water pump plate plate has the "D" shaped holes, there may be issues.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but hopefully this may shed some light.

Good Luck with the project.

professional products makes a balancer with all 3 timing locations and a ford facing universal pointer can be mounted on the opposite side

Thanks for the reply's
Jegs has this timing cover http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/50300/10002/-1
It is billed for use with standard OR reverse flow AND has provisions for timing pointers at the 10, 11 and 2 o'clock postion. Of note, I have not been able to find a timing pointer that is made for mounting at the 2 o'clock position.

I picked up a harmonic that is indexed for the 10, 11 and 2 o'clock pointer. I will fab a pointer unles I find one
Thanks
