Thread: Is my Torque Converter on right???

Tweet

well hang on here it a hemi and it would have a flex plat and the ring gear on the converter so your hub could be thicker or thinner would have to do with how much the crank hub hangs out of the block if you know how thick your adapter is to bolt up the trans and you know how thick your hub spacer is subtract to two that will give you how much spacing you have and if you have a chevy V8 engine and measure a chevy from hub to bell housing face it should come out the same as you hub? or just PM me and i will tell you if you want to call me on the phone

There should be two distinct detents when you install the convertor and it should almost hit the bellhousing if it's in all the way...I didn't consider the difference that Pat mantioned about the integrated flywheel/convertor for the chrysler. I didn't think they did that untill the 60s but I could be wrong(And am frequently)

....Thanks Pat! , yep I found out I've got the correct set-up. They offer two flywheels but the one with the ring gear on it is the right one {mine has the ring gear}. They also have two spacers but the correct one is the only one that will bolt to the flexplate that I have. So I'm good to go there.
When I do the measureing I see that I will have an 1/8" of clearance between the flexplate & the tq. converter. So once i put the motor in I just need to pull the tq. converter forward 1/8" & bolt it up. So I'm good there. This is the first time I've ever put a Tq. converter on & it just didn't seem right. But it is.... Now I know .... Thanks again! Bill
