3000 stall torque converter
 

I have an '86 5.0 convertible that i want to use a C-4 with. The 3000 stall that I got separately came with directions to buy all these new parts, which I have but the starter will not hit the flywheel close enough to hit the flywheel. I tried tons of starters so do I have to just get a different flywheel?

Hang on,hope this does not confuse us.

Ford made two flexplates,a 157 tooth and a 164 tooth wheel. Maybe the larger will work for you.

Make sure which ever plate is used it is balanced at 50 onces,which is the correct balance for your motor. A 50 oz weight will cover 3/4 of the plate. The older is about have as much looking. Pre-80's-28.2oz//Post-80's-50oz.

I ran into the oposite once. The plate I had was too big. Early C-4's had a smaller bellhousing.

Hope this helped. MII
