Re: What needed hardware, torque converter to flex plate
Notes for my 71 C10 with 402/400TH. The bolts are original:
Ensure the converter spins freely until it’s mounted onto the flex plate.
If the torque converter is seated correctly after that transmission has been mounted to the engine block, then there should be an approx. 1/8” gap between the contact points on the converter and flex plate. Pull the torque converter forward to the contact points, ensure the torque converter spins in this position and then mount it.
The torque converter mounts to the flex plate using three (GR 5) 9/16" flange bolts. The bolt threads are 3/8-16 x 9/16. NOTES: One bolt is stamped "TR" and the other two are stamped "RBM". The bolts were torqued to 40 ft. lbs.
