These instructions do not explain WHY the plate needs to be replaced. I called Edelbrock and the guy I spoke to was useless. I pointed out that the Ford part number they listed appears to be obsolete and his response was to send me a link to Ebay where an old one is for sale. I've found some other vendors that have replacements for this number. Does anybody know why a different thrust plate would be required for the Edelbrock timing chain set?</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Joe Brown</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-------------- next part --------------</p><p class=MsoNormal>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...</p><p class=MsoNormal>URL: <http://autox.team.net/pipermail/tigers/attachments/20190129/10d024a4/attachment.html></p><p class=MsoNormal>-------------- next part --------------</p><p class=MsoNormal>A non-text attachment was scrubbed...</p><p class=MsoNormal>Name: s-l640.jpg</p><p class=MsoNormal>Type: image/jpeg</p><p class=MsoNormal>Size: 38913 bytes</p><p class=MsoNormal>Desc: not available</p><p class=MsoNormal>URL: <http://autox.team.net/pipermail/tigers/attachments/20190129/10d024a4/attachment.jpg></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>------------------------------</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Subject: Digest Footer</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________</p><p class=MsoNormal>Tigers mailing list</p><p class=MsoNormal>Tigers@autox.team.net</p><p class=MsoNormal>http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/tigers</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>------------------------------</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>End of Tigers Digest, Vol 11, Issue 45</p><p class=MsoNormal>**************************************</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
