I went through 6 used housings before I found an true one,Ford did about 8 revisions in production,the best are late '31's,they have ribs on the outside along the bottom.An easy test for cracking is to balance it with one finger and whack it with a wrench,it should ring...if it clanks its cracked.

The reason its done is to insure crankshaft/transmission input shaft alignment,so the clutch disc fully and evenly contacts the flywheel on application.
