Not the "button" adaptor. Use the spacer plate as Ed Pitts described. When using the 2 bolt cover the cam "sticks out too far" (approx 7/16) so you need the spacer plate. Dick Spadora sells them also. Call him and he will answer all your questions before you order. John

There are 3 lengths of cam ends on the dist.side. With the adapter it will make up the dist approx. 7/16 on an inch shortness. That would would with the earlier cam length. Then the other version that would require a buttom adapter. The final cam would require nothing. All Ford flathead cams will interchange. The problem lies iin the timing cover . block and dist.
As stated before Dick Spadaro carries the dist adapter, contact him for what you need .
Good luck Bill
