Name this part!

What is the name of the thin plate that goes between the transmission and engine block? I need a new one, and can't find it because I don't no what to call it! LoL

Thanks!

block plate or starter locator plate are a couple names people use.

Kieth has them.

Thanks! I'm trying to get a order together for parts I need right now.

Keith had some w/him this weekend. NICE

I have always referred to them as a Starter locator,because that's EXACTLY what their purpose is.

One call to 678-458-2033 will do the trick.
I have what you need!
Thank you,
Keith

Question speaking of these plates do you still use the plate when you run a mid plate.

Larry I run just the mid plate on mine

Keith(Wheelie58) makes the mid-plate with the starter location all as one unit no need to run both with his deal. a starter locating plate should always be used if you don't wish to replace starters regularly.

Keith and I managed to get a hold of one another. He is going to get the part I need shipped to me!!


PS. I really like doing business with our members. The quality and the knowledge of knowing you will get what you need.

Ten 4. I still have my starter plate and I was going to just cut the starter provision out and use it rather than using the entire plate

Depends on your mid plate.  On my old .090" thick mid plate I needed that old block plate to space the starter our far enough forward to engage the flexplate properly.

On my new 1/4" plate that KFM made for me it has the starter provision on it so the starter matches the flexplate properly.

With experience, one will find the value of having an accurate starter locator plate. No matter if it is one of mine, a modified factory plate or someone else's, stater and flexplate happiness is achieved with a solid...accurate mounting.
Mr Jones....your KFM plate is heading your way!
Thank you all,

Thank you sir! It showed up on my UPS account. Just let me know when you need the rest of my info.

Folks,thats what you call a great vendor.Keith is on the road racing and still manages to get his shipments out.

I have a custom mid plate from Keith with the starter locator hole. Nice KFM product made for my car specifically.

He custom made me a starter plate for my run stand.

Looks good

The plate was delivered today! Awesome job and looks great.

He did a custom mid plate for my pulling truck out of thicker steel to replace the mcleod blowproof block saver plate. It turned out great and is better than the original. Thanks again Keith
