No, it should be smooth. A replacement is probably available, since it was
common to a bunch of the L-series plates.

Some of the thermostat housings have a small threaded hole in the side
opposite the sending unit. The threads are VERY fine (I don't remember the
numbers). You can run a ground wire from this screw to the ground on the
distributor (early-model) or any other adequate ground (later-model). Make
sure the sending unit is getting a good ground to the thermostat housing
and it should work fine.
