lining up the torque converter...

[bmxmarine]

does any ont have any tricks for liningup the tc to the flexplate after the motor is installed? i indexed it and now i can't find my mark... please any advice would be greatly appricated.

it really doesn't matter. just put the tranny in neutral and spin the converter till the bolt holes line up. just don't put one bolt and tighten it, because you probably won't get the rest in. get them all in loosely and then go back around and tighten them down.

ah not true. on the flexplate, there is an alignment hole. if you look at the 3 holes, you will see that 2 are round, and one is oval. the oval one is the index hole, if you put that bolt in first you are able to tighten it up and i garentee you will get the other 2 in. as for the converter, its symetrical, so dont worry about wich hole to line it up to
