Converter snout engagement into Powerglide pump
« on: April 02, 2015, 04:16:18 PM »
How much should the converter be pulled forward from bottomed in the front pump?
Mine's a relatively mild combo that I don't think I need to worry about a ballooning converter taking up the end play and then some.
Obviously we want sufficient engagement to drive the pump, but how little is too little?

Thanks

Just keep the same amount of stuff on the right
as there is on the left. Seeing straight ahead is highly overrated....

You should have 1/8 to 3/16 between the converter and flexplate.

Hope this helps.
