Now I know that I have seen an article about straighting these adaptor plates somewhere on the interweb.
Its seems to be a pretty simple "get it flat" item but yet I have had one on and off 4 times now.
Even though I am going to purchase a new one,can somebody point me to this article?
Thanks,Oldmics

This is what your looking for, I had the same trouble then I found this post. I used a 4" pvc coupling and a big socket, worked great. You need at least the 1/16" Mark

I specifically had a conversation with my T-Bird on the way over to Oldmics. I told her to play nice with Uncle John, or she would wear out her welcome. As with most of the women in my life, she DIDN'T listen. Spraying oil all over his garage floor, repeatedly, is not playing nice!

Mac's has a heavier plate than what most kits have. They also have a thicker gasket which will help.

The biggest challenge with these plates is that the gasket was originally paper and the manuals said to "Lube" them on install where the newer are a composit and or neopreme type and if you lube them they will leak. Put the new type gaskets in dry.

Gary, Is this the same guy that had them on ebay? I was saving my lunch money to get one but then could not find him again on ebay.

I have one of Mr Dovers aluminum adapters works good only thing I did change is machine a longer one piece threaded nut as in longer threads into the block itself to allow for the extra thickness and added .125 to widen the nut it still fits and clears the filter much easer to tighten with out grinding on a socket or rounding off the nut flats just had to get some 1 1/4 hex stock and did it on my lathe some thing to think about adding to the kit ( HINT HINT ) well worth the extra cost as not every one has the means to fab one them self.
