To keep a long story short, I've found myself in need of the adaptor plate for a 7.3idi to ZF542.
I know the part number is 1800475C1.
Doing a search that includes the engine/transmission year has limited options.
That said, doing a part number only search shows these plates listed for 88-91, or 95-03.
They look like the identical part.
The ring mount for the starter on mine is missing, broken off 1/2 way through the top bolt hole, so I have no reference other than pulling up pictures on the web.
I can't see any difference between the two year spreads advertised.
I know there's been modifications to parts for these engines, with the newer parts usually being better quality as well as easier to procure.
My obvious question, does anyone here have any insight on what, if any differences there are?
I can't imagine Ford redesigning a part that wouldn't fit on previous models and leaving it the exact same number.
All the changes I've found have been upgraded assemblies that are still backwards compatible, like the clutch master/slave, where the original stuff was plastic to '91, then braided steel hose and steel master from '92-'97.
Hoping to order the plate asap, but don't want to wind up having to pay a restock and return shipping fee if they are different.
Thanks
