Thread: Is my Torque Converter on right???

Tweet

good what i was saying and not doing a good job at it was that the spacer for the hub would need to be the same thickness as the bell adapter after thinking about that not so with the chrysler to the chevy? it would be if it was chevy to chevy trans like a mid plate if you space the bell out 1/4 you would need to add that1/4 to the stall pilot to make up the gap or you would burn up the front pump drive lugs you see ? or should i just stop nowif you do not under stand me it.s ok not the best at it

Thanks Daffy & Pat! yes I got the two detents to go into the notches inside the trans.... I understood Pat! Although I rairly do! But the converter must be on right cuz the engine's installed & there's an 1/8" space between the converter & the flexplate. I've just got to bolt it on....... thanks again! Bill

Bill, I also have a turbo 400 hooked up to a Hemi in my Model A. Its a Desoto hemi so there may be some differences. The one thing for certain that I know about this-- DO NOT use the bolts that mount the tranny to the engine to PULL the tranny onto the block. This will for certain damage the front pump on the 400, Been there done that.

.....Thank you Roland! actually I used the bolts to pull the engine to the transmisson, not the transmission to the engine! So this is alright? Bill
