When installing the converter bolts you need to tighten them up until they are very close to the flexplate, then rotate the crankshaft to the next bolt. After they are all in , then tighten them all up.

Also, make sure you have not installed the flexplate indorrectly.

got any pics??

 

Does it look exactly like your old plate?

I can suggest a few options. The first is to contact TCI and ask these questions to them. Give them the part# and tell them the problems that you are having. Then see what they have to say. The second option is to remove everything and line up the converter to the flex plate and see if in fact it is even possible to line everything up. Sounds like you have a mismatch or are doing something incorrectly. Let us know what you find. Vince

 

email me the pics and I'll post them. danwade66@sbcglobal.net

If the bolt heads are to big, they might hit, or if they are not tighten'd up before rotating they will hit. Do not use washers, if you are, on the head of the bolts. Also, verify the part number to be correct. Just some idears.
