Power takeoff adaptor, adaptor?
« on: April 01, 2008, 08:53:38 PM »
 I have a BBC and after the flywheel but before the power takeoff adaptor I have an aluminnum spacer.  It seems to keep the adaptor away from the flywheel.  Have any of you heard of this, or know where to get a new one?

Although I have never seen one for a BBC, I have seen that exact same thing on an Olds or two. I believe it's a spacer for a flexplate and if using a flywheel the spacer isn't used, but that's a guess at best.

I just had my engine out and noted the same type of spacer on mine.  My engine does have a flexplate and not a flywheel so HotRod could be right.

Someone was doing some "adjusting" with the "shim" , could relate to a drive line lenghth issue or engine swap etc  We sell PTO's for just about every concievable application you could think of ,BBCs come in 4 different configurations flex plate ,flywheel etc , the crank side is "registered" in or out to facilitate the rear of the crank post some pics of what you need or cal for tech help or "coaching Tom

hotrod is right, someone had a pto for a flywheel and put a flex plate on, the pto's are different flywheel is flat the pto for flex plate is recessed, Jim

 I really appreciate all of the responses.  It has been a few weeks since my last question.  The problem was that whoever built the motor before was too lazy to go and buy a flexplate PTO, instead he/she took (wasted) the time to fab an aluminum spacer. But to all of you who took the time to answer, my sincerest thanks...and good luck.
