this is the way I check , drill bit works very well

 

Last post was 2015... You guys coming back?

 

We're still around and happy to help with any questions.

 

thanks, sending the ask chris form now

 

What about converter snout to crank hub engagement? Is this not as important as pump engagement? Only reason I ask is because I had a converter that could have spaced so far away from the flex plate that there was daylight between the two.

 

Did you look real good under the hood???

Sorry, that was hard to resist

 

I have the same issue. If I fully seat the converter all the way back, there is a ton of space. I also know that if I bolt it up yo the flex plate that it is too far out of the pump. It will drive under its own power and lockup works and everything. I want to go back and shim it so I would like to know if the snout/hub engagement is important too.

 

yes it is important

it sounds to me like you need a new flexplate to properly space things
possibly yours is coned and has improper spacing.

 

different year models have different flex plates? What should I look for?

 

Or should I get a crank spacer
