In 32 the timing gear cover was cast so it could be drilled and used as a replacement on the A engine. There is an oval pad that was big enough to drill for the B or A engine. So you could have the replacement cover made in 32 drilled for the A engine/dist.

If it is a B cover and you are using an A dist., it is going to be way advanced (BTDC) from the get go.

In 33 and 34 it was a round boss for the B engine, but the gen mount was different.
