I think that was the old cast iron bell from the Chevy pickups from the 50's and 60's. Seems like ya had to drill out the threads on two holes so you could use the right bolts in the right direction. Two front to back, and two back to font? I think that did require a centering plate. The hole in the back of the bell is a bit bigger than the step on the front of the transmisison, so a 1/4" plate with the smaller hole is used between the two. It just mounts on the same 4 bolts holes. I think AcLCA just picked up both the bell and plate when they bought up the inventory of a small shop that went out of business. I almost used that setup 30+ years ago when I dropped a 350 into my 72 FJ40, but I opted for the SM 465 instead. I still have my AA books from then. John
