Torque converter Q - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I just installed a 727 behind my 258. Just wondering how much play the torque conveter should have before it is bolted to the flexplate. I had about an 1/8 of an inch and I want to make sure that is enough. Not much time to have it rebuilt again if I burn up the pump before EJS.

thats normal. just bolt it up and go. The converter has that big centering lug that registers into the back of the crank and that's what supports the front of the converter, and the bushing in the pump supports the rear of the converter.
