Converter install question
I know this has been covered before, but what I couldn't find was how to verify that the pilot engagement in the crankshaft is correct...
I have an Edge converter in the H/O, that the converter ring hits the balance weights on the flexplate. Therefore, I had to shim it back 0.150" all the way around. The engagement gap was good after the shimming. But now I'm worried about the engagement to the crank I have seen discussed. How can I verify this? The edge converter looks kind of like this. I can snap an actual picture of it in the car tonight... Ever seen a converter build like this one ? I bought this a while ago before I saw any of the PTC results. I would definitely be going with one of those if this thing wasn't brand new (and on it's 3rd restall from Edge since he couldn't get the stall even close). I'll probably still end up switching in another year or two when I put the new motor in... Sorry for the stupid question... Thanks in advance!

Can't see that being a problem although I don't quite follow what you mean by engagment to the crankshaft. The only thing that would be a problem is the converter being too deep in the trans there for putting pressure on the pump but 0.150" should not be a problem.
Are you doing a turbo conversion in the Hurst?

No turbo conversion. It's gonna get an Olds 403.

Even without the shims the center of the converter never makes contact with the crankshaft. It does appear that it would be a centering device but it's really not. Simply bolting the converter to the flywheel takes care of centering.
