Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train 1984 Article on adapter plate - Who's got a copy?

I think it was in June 1984, that an article appeared in 12 PN, showing how to adapt a late auto trans (or scattershield) to an early six.

Has anyone got a copy of that article, that they could either scan and email, or photocopy and snail mail me, please.

I've got a SBC V* scattershiled that I'd like to use between the soon to be blown 261 and the '37 Packard trans in my Model A Coupe.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Buffalo makes adapters for early GM(CBOP) to late GM bellhousings. Always dial indicate your bellhousing and adjust to < .005" max runout.

Any-one got the article?

Dear Mark;

You'll need to buy a back issue.

Contact Larry (twisted 6) $3.00 + $1.50 S&H.

Good luck

John, This issue is not listed in the Back Issues available, but if it is, then i stand corrected and will buy it.

Dear Mark;

Over "the years" I've reved those (5800 RPM+) many times W/O a flywheel explosion. The clutch bolts/diaphram cover is what goes. We would check them after every run for tightnes etc.

ARP should have the bolts.

If this is a racing safety requirement you'll probably need to make a (2 piece) custom one.

Maybe?? A 1/4" steel floor palte will work too??
Ask your safety people.

Good luck.

PS: The engine will 'blow' before the flywheel, if ballanced properly. :p

BTTT, hopefully some-one may be able to copy or scan the article for me.

Postage for an adapter plate from one of the dealers in the US to Australia would be a killer, so I'm trying to make my own.

Thanks

Mark

Back to the top again.

someone's got to have this article - somewhere.

Thanks

Mark

Have you tried contacting the TPN people directly??

Their e-mail address is on the back of the cover or just inside, as I recall.

Good luck.

He will work with you in regards to shipping or at least tell you what is involved in making one or maybe sell you a template and directions for doing it.
