live by this or you will take out the pump, trust me i used a art carr tc without proper spacing it took out the tranny pump!!

 

great thread.... but he states
"If the gap is greater than .187" install a .060" flat washer between the torque converter and flexplate."

even if i use the .060 washer, the length of the bolts will hit the block..
do i just byuild it up with washers...

or should i just go buy a new egdge verter.... and call it good...

 

I wouldn't use any washers. It's a poor product if it doesnt fit properly

 

Just pulling this outta my ***. but you could get Shorted grade 8 bolts.

Those bolts came with the verter and still too long for the verter?

 

if you ever wanna drive my truck and feel how my circle-d feels, let me know.

 

i just took this one i got out... and its about 3/8 of inch shorter...

so i guess i'll get the harley ready to ride next week,
i gotta order something this week.... guess i;'ll look into circle d... maybe go for a 3200 stall... i dunno... too pissed off to think... lol

 

So is the bolt going in so far that it's hitting the back of the converter or is it tightening prematurely?
You could have the wrong threads

 

ok... i pulled the carr converter out this morning...
set it side by side with the stock.... there maybe a 1/16th difference.....
but the bungs on the carr are not tapped all the way thru...
so it looks like a shorter bolt will be the fix....
is this pretty common?

 

maybe for carr. never seen one that didn't go all the way through
