My 6.1 retrofit thread
Because the block off plate was designed by someone else (not TTI) after the fact, and the mount was probably never modified to accomodate this. The original TTI design for a block off plate also did not include the O-rings and would have probably leaked. One of the first customers to get a TTI block off plate for his '67 A-body Barracuda Convertible had an engineer friend of his design a block off plate that included the O-rings. He e-mailed the drawing to TTI and they sent him the first article free.
True story!
This pic shows the TTI block off plate partially attached - its a perfect fit and uses O rings to seal to the boss.
The TTI engine mount adapter requires a small amount of trimming to clear the plate - not sure how TTI could have missed this pretty basic issue.....:(
