Trouble mating 727 to a 440 - HELP ;)

hard to tell from the pics but that converter doesn't look all the way in to me. whatever you do don't pull the trans in with the bolts. you will break the ears off the pump. they can be stubborn sometimes. hold the converter hub and wiggle and spin the converter while pushing it in. sooner or later it will drop in as long as the spline cound is correct.
