Yes = Chevrolet Orange.  If you have have the original timing cover the timing tab should be welded to it, which makes it a little hard to paint separately.

Timing tabs were painted Chevy orange.  Some in the hobby have tried to say otherwise but this is not true.  I have examined many survivor cars over the past 20 years or so and all timing tabs were painted.  I also have some original engine photos that show the same thing.

Do you have photos of a '68 396/375 timing tab?
