flex plate cover question


overdrive

Recommended Posts

My 70 SS came to me with no inspection cover. I want to order one, but need to know if it should be steel or plastic.

All All (454) .............................................. 3 8 1 7 0 0 6 A.R. .12 BOLT, w/washer (1/4"— 20 x 7/16" ) ...................

 

I would think hardened bolts

Yeah, I thought they were 1/4-20 as well but a 1/4-20 bolt is too small in all of the holes in mine. 

If it were just one of the holes I would think it was just worn out...but all of them? 

Also, the 1/4-20 bolt is not just loose (like the threads were gone) but entirely too loose.

Do you know if you have the original transmission? Sounds like you possibly have a 4x4 case that was built for a car. Are the holes threaded? If so, you do. The 4x4 cases had thick, like the case, aluminum inspection covers bolted to them. Hope this helps.
