The Allstar Performance Timing Pointer ALL90025 is an adjustable ignition timing reference built for small block Chevy engines running an 8-inch diameter harmonic balancer. It bolts to the front of the engine alongside the timing cover and gives you a fixed, readable pointer to set and verify ignition timing against the balancer marks. Engine builders, racers, and anyone tuning a street build will recognize this as the small detail that makes timing checks repeatable. Because the pointer adjusts to precise increments, it lets you dial in a reference that matches your balancer rather than fighting a fixed tab that never quite lines up.
The body is machined from billet aluminum and finished in black anodize, so it holds up to underhood heat and stays legible. Hardware is stainless steel, which keeps the mounting fasteners from rusting where they sit exposed at the front of the block. The unit is designed for use with stamped steel timing covers; if you are running a cast aluminum cover, plan on sourcing longer hardware to clear the added thickness. Sizing matters here, since this pointer is matched specifically to an 8-inch balancer rather than the smaller diameter units. Pair it with a degreed balancer or a length of timing tape for accurate readings, and it becomes part of a clean, serviceable front-end setup alongside the rest of your small block timing components.
Reach for this pointer when you are setting initial timing on a fresh build, verifying total advance after a distributor swap, or checking that a worn balancer ring hasn't shifted your reference. The adjustable design means you can correct for a balancer that reads off by a few degrees instead of guessing. It is a straightforward upgrade over a bent or missing factory tab.

This pointer is matched to small block Chevy engines using an 8-inch diameter harmonic balancer. It will not align correctly on smaller diameter balancers, so confirm your balancer measurement before ordering to ensure the pointer reads against the timing marks properly.
The pointer is designed for use with stamped steel timing covers. If you are running a cast aluminum cover, you will need longer mounting hardware to make up for the added cover thickness, per Allstar Performance specifications.
An adjustable pointer lets you set the reference to precise timing increments and correct for a balancer that reads slightly off. Instead of accepting a fixed tab that never quite lines up, you can fine-tune the pointer to match your balancer for repeatable readings.
The body is machined from billet aluminum with a black anodized finish, and the mounting hardware is stainless steel. The combination handles underhood heat and resists corrosion at the exposed front of the engine.
Pair the pointer with a degreed harmonic balancer or apply timing tape to your existing balancer so the pointer has clear, accurate marks to read against when setting initial and total ignition timing.
