powerhouse and timing plate

I bought an engine with reinforced early timing plate and powerhouse.
When I want to put the powerhouse on the engine, the bolt doesn't fit the timing plate hole but fit later's ones (Bolt is too big).
Which part is wrong ?
What can I do ?
 
Looking at the judging standars, it says that the powerhouse 1 mounting bolt was 7/16" until Dec 1927, then P2 used 1/2" -20 by 2 7/8"until September 1928, then P3 used used the same bolt as P2 until they swaped to a normal generator in July '29, so check the timing gear cover and see what size bolt it is. Hope this helps
 
Thank you very much Pinesdune.
I'll check in few days but year (early 1928) and bolt suggest I probably need to buy a later reinforced timing plate... or an earlier powerhouse.

In my short time of owning a model A, I've learned one major thing, they changed things on the car constantly through production.
Here's a link to Steve Plucker's site, lots of info, the link will take you to his info on U-joint covers

How do you mean the transmission shaft is different? If you are referring to the input shaft on the transmission, their are two options, one that fits a multidisc clutch (early 28) and the one for the single disc. Do you have any pics?


Looking for the front bumper emblem that has "Ford, Made In Canada"
