just make sure its in the pump all the way should fall in three times and then the flywheel will pull it to where i needs to be......make sure to fill it

My PI converter was very tight. I had to stand the trans up on end to get it to go on the pump.

Just make sure get the converter indexed to the pump if you can get fingers behind your not there well unless you have really skinny fingers

no it will fit like it is or the convertor was made wrong

The torque converter to flex plate clearance should be .080" - .125". To check this, the transmission should be tight against the block, push the TC toward the back of the transmission, check the clearance between the TC and the flex plate mounting hole. You can use a feeler guage till you get some resistance, add the numbers up. Ideal clearance should be what is stated above. If it falls in this range, bolt it up you are fine. If more than this, post???
