Hughes stuff is junk. I bought one of their flexplates and it was so warped it hit the bellhousing.

Go with the TCI stuff on the $ out of the box.

IIRC, the "GM" spacer is 0.400" thick.

Can you not use the factory spacer that came on the auto LQ4's and not have to make one? I have one I will give you if you pay the shipping for it. I am not sure if it will help or not you might want to ask someone that knows.
