Okay so I used the search tool and found quite a few posts with opinions of whether the oil slinger is needed. I read all of them and I have a different somewhat embarrassing issue(quick note, I would have posted on one of those threads but they were all 5+ years old). During short block rebuild of my '67 289 my dad advised(from memory) I put the oil slinger on then the timing chain. Recently I finally found time to finish the build and this time bought a manual only to find picture and instruction that this thing has to be in front of the timing chain. This of course discovered after the timing chain cover and damper is on
So I need advice, people are almost 50/50 on this oil slinger "need"!!!!
Also in case the info will help I have a correct year replacement tc cover from NPD...
Thanks for any help or advice,
Clint
