727 transmision problem

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'll have to pull the trans back out next weekend and check the front pump. My drag car did not have a mid plate so I'm not sure why this converter had so much space between the flex plate. The drag car was a big block but I've switched converters between big and small blocks before with no problems. I always look between the input shaft and front seal with a light to see where the pump ears are sitting so it makes it easier to slide the converter in. This one slid right in and engaged both sets of splines easily. I guess the only way to find out is rip it back apart.
