Looks like the correct flexplate. Knock the spacer off the crankshaft and see if it will slip over the convertor guide, or lift the convertor off the trans and try to slide it into the crank.

I pulled the converter and it slides right into the crank no problem. It seems like the ears on the torque converter are too long. They hit the flywheel preventing the trans from seating to the engine block. I am going to call the guy I got the truck and trans from to see if maybe they had the torque converter made special for something that might be causing me problems. I know that the trans was changed in the truck at one time but I dont know if they changed from a different model trans to the 80e. Any suggestions on how to safely get the spacer off? It didnt come off with the flywheel when I took it off. I have been soaking it in PB's for a couple days now but still hasnt budged. I am being a lil gentle with it cause I dont want to damage the crank or bearings in the engine since I am not doing a rebuild on it.Originally Posted by RedHeartbeat
