C4 help needed
Does anyone out there know where to find a trans yoke & a "shim plate" for a 73 C4 Tranny? It's mated to a 65 289 & being installed into a 62 F100. HELP!?Thanks,
Tim

If it's a 65 289, you could have either a 5 or 6 bolt bellhousing pattern on the block. As for a drive yoke, it uses the same 28 spline ones that just about 90% of Fords used up to the present. For a block plate ( that's what goes between the block and bellhousing) Mustangs Unlimted sells new 6 bolt ones for 157 tooth bells, not sure about the larger 164 tooth ones. 157 & 164 tooth denotes the flexplate size. They each work with different bellhousings, your 73 C-4 could be either, better check before buying. The block plate indexes the starter to the flywheel/flexplate. Some have gotten away without it, but most who try leaving it out don't.

You'll also want to match the yoke for the right U-joint size too. 28 spline yokes aren't all the same. There's at least three different sizes for U-joints. Then there's a few different lengths too, to add to the confusion. Happy Hunting
