Hello Folks,
I just recently acquired my first FE engine, a factory 390 as installed in my new (to me) 1962 Thunderbird Convertible. I have questions about the spacer plate installed from the factory between the engine and Cruise-o-Matic transmission. Apparently a previous owner decided it was an option and neglected to install it.
I wouldn't have noticed except for the persistent starter noise and the missing flywhell inspection plate.
So, how necessary is this plate? I have been told by...
