Title: Converter snout engagement into Powerglide pump
Post by: janjon 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

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

Hope this helps.
