350 turbo help I just put the pinion spacer in and when i tighten the trans down i cant even turn the engine over and i cant move converter, if i move the trans back just a little it will work, do i need a spacer or something to pull the trans away from engine just a little?

Also, make sure your converter is all the way in against the pump of the trans. Your should have felt the converter mate in the trans 2 times as you turn it while pressing in on the converter.

I felt 2 notches but hughes said i should feel 3, i can get a finger behind the converter so i dont know if its all the way in but i cant seem to get the 3rd notch no matter how hard i try lol. I used the gm spacer.
