My friend and I put in the Yank ss 4000 yesterday into my car. We worked on it for about 10 hrs! Not bad for our first ever converter swap. Anyways, to the tips. I used masking tape to hold the 1/16th washers onto the converter pads. That worked awesome. I also bought some fuel injection hose clamps. No leaks! They work way better and clamp more even then a worm clamp.

 

Good tips and thanks for the info. I am running the same convertor.
