727 big block trans converter tighten/untighten tricks
What do you use for a torque wrench setup
a click-type. Put the bolt head to the bottom. Unless your engine has a deep oilpan, there should be lots of room. If not then install the bolts before the starter goes on, and there you got a big ol' hole .
BTW;
You do know that the convertors usually bolt onto the flex-plate in only one of the four positions,right.......
Index it before you put the engine in and save some dinking around time. Do not tighten the bolts until all Four are in, lol, then torque them.
To be honest, having begun wrenching in about 1969, on my cars, I stopped using a torque wrench for everything except three things, many many years ago, namely; headbolts, cambolts, and rocker shaft bolts. My right arm is a calibrated wonder...... lol
