not sure but maybe you need the 4.8/5.3L dished flexplate with the spacer on the transmission side of the flexplate. Mount the converter to it by hand first before trying to stab the trans in. Be sure the bolt holes line up and the pilot is engaged. This is assuming you have the late model 6L with the short crankshaft, end of crank almost flush with the crankshaft seal. If the crank hangs out of the seal about 1/2" you have the 1999-2001 early style 6L and you will have to slot the bolt holes on a flat Gen3 flexplate or drill new holes.

I had the dished flexplate and spacer on there first and the hub of the converter was supported by the spacer and bottomed out before bellhousing touched. But that got me thinking maybe the dished flexplate without the spacer will work? Is that possible? And thanks for your help guys I'm ready to get this goin!

Ok guys I done some calling around to a dew shops and figured out the problem. I didn't know this but the trail blazer converter won't work with my early lt style transmission the input shaft is set up differently I believe. So trail blazer converter is for sale cheap and a circle d converter for my tranny will hopefully get ordered this week and things will be back to rolling!
