th400 Converter bolting to ls 5.3
Ok I have a 5.3, I bought the ATP 270Z flexplate with adapter (this is the ATP flat flex plate with adapter in it), I'm running it like it should (spacer, flex plate, conveter) but the issue is the converter hub is against the spacer (it went in, just can't go any further in), and the converter tab are 1/4" off the flex plate….
Any ideas?
(converter is a TCI, some I had behind a gen 1 BBC motor with a TH400)
I search, and everything I read about the ATP flex plate is that it all should bolt together and fit correctly with the right amount of converter play and the converter tabs reach correctly...

How far out of the trans is the conv. pulled b4 it stops
In an ideal world with the conv. seated in the trans, there should be aprx 3/16 gap to the FW
What is the distance from the back of the block to the BACK of the FW teeth
As I remember it is about 7/16 for proper starter engag.

after playing with it a bit last night, it comes to 3/32 from the flex plate to the converter pads, but clearly the spacer is what's stoping it from 0 gap, which at this point I don't think is an issue since I'd have to shim it anyway to get
