This is what I do...look at the tranny and find where the notch is then spin it so it is up and down...now place the TC on with the notch up and down..It will go right in.. To be sure just look to see if the mount tabs are in past the tranny mount flange. It is about 3/4 inch from the face of the tranny..

Measure from the mounting face of the transmission to mounting pads/ring of the converter. It should be 1". There is some tolerance on this, but not much.
Good Luck!
