That's a cover for a passenger side inlet pump, but it's different from the one I had pulled from the 67 I had. What's the casting # on that one? Maybe the one I had was the earlier one. That one looks like the later ones except for the timing pointer. Come to think of it, all the small block water pumps I've had , used a backing plate.
I have never seen one without a backing plate.
WORTH, i compared that one with the one that P51 posted in our other thread. He posted one for a 65-66 with inlet on the passenger side. The actual area were the water pump mounts is a little recessed and the thing that looks like a nipple northeast of the crank snout hole is different.
I can believe I just posted this" the thing that looks like a nipple northeast of the crank snout hole "
