When you put the converter on the trans input shaft, are you rotating it so it engages the pump gear? When it engages, it drops in about 1/2" - 3/4". That's providing you have the correct converter.

if you turned it and it dropped into place one notch then keep going. it should drop in a few notches. sometimes the pump bushings are tight and it takes a while to get them in. when it sits in where the studs are lined up with the bellhousing its good.
