i marked the hole for the TC drain plug on the flex plate and used the matching one on the new flex plate so? |
The TC has studs, right, not bolts?
I'll be honest, I prefer to mount the engine & bring the trans to it. It's easier (for me) to move around & line up. |

pic of when I put the engine in the truck the first time note the chain rig on the hoist bar my micky mouse way to get it out of the van the distributor was hitting on the bottom of that bar the bolt ripped the fire wall insulation out of the underside of the dash,the bar was level to the ground.
you can just make out the R&P at the drop down in the oil pan sump https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...11dc6759bd.jpg |
If you have doubts about whether the TC fits the flex plate, can you try test fitting just the TC t the FP? I mean, pull the TC off the trans and hold it up against the flex plate just to see if the studs would line up with the holes in the FP, and have the TC nose fitting into the pilot bearing. At least you can verify that they DO fit.
|
That would a good third way to check it like I said I put the new one over the old and they matched the I reversed them so? |
Cold? I thought all of Cali stayed at 80* year round. :rolleyes:

Without a doubt in re grand kids.
You should be able to line up the studs on the TC, push the block/trans together. If you draw them tight & square, there should still be a bit fore/aft movement between the TC/Flex plate & the nuts draw the TC forward to the flex. |

going to check it again this morning I’m not happy with the way theTC is going in https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...31ce05dc83.jpg |
Hell the old saying measure twice I need to measure once now that’s just getting old |
Yea, automatics don't use any pilot bearing.
|
Thanks this must have happened when I swapped cranks it’s not funny when things snow ball out from one thing too another |
That'll do it. Hope you didn't damage the front pump trying to push the TC into that pilot bearing.
|
Don’t want to think about it |

Looking good regardless of such minor issues.

Nice, looks like you have came a long ways!
