Trigger plate on a six bolt swap

[kahl23]

So after a mis-shift this fall caused the engine to rev to 13,000 rpm, I decided it would be prudent to strip the engine down to a bare block and have my machinist take a look at it. In the process of disassembly, I bent the trigger plate. I'm trying to order a new one, but at Extreme PSI, there are three options for the trigger plate. My question is, which one do I use? I've got a six bolt swap and I could have sworn I used the trigger plate from my 7 bolt when I originally changed engines a few years back, but I could be wrong. Considering how important this is for base timing, I'd like to make sure I do this right. Thanks.

This is the only one they sell for a 6 bolt.
EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - OEM Crankshaft Timing Trigger Plate : Mitsubishi Eclipse 90-92

The other two are for 1g and 2g 7 bolts.

I'm not sure why you would have used one from a 7 bolt. The 6 bolt one will be needed to line up the base timing marks.

Thanks. Like I said, I wasn't sure if I did or didn't, it's been four years and I couldn't remember. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I didn't.

Oh that is a nice trigger plate. I'm about to install my MS2 finally and that is a golden find. I wonder is anyone makes a 36-1 trigger plate. Man that would just make my day. Thank you for the link.
