That's precisely what I had noted in my previous post (#3).
I had actually built a small fixture so as to make it easy to make these measurements.
The plate MUST be pulled down atop a new disc or (my preference) a .340" ground steel plate.
The specification to each "finger is .750". This measurement is properly taken (per Ford) from the top of the plate housing down to the top of the finger.
I no longer recall what the tolerance was (+/-) but do clearly recall the .750.
If this was not important, Ford would not have specified it.
