Converter stuck in cranksaft!

-
Your converter pilot has a measurement of 1.810". It's been that way size for a long time. Is it possible that the crank you've got is for a standard transmission and not an automatic transmission? Measure the bore in the crankshaft it could be wrong. I worked in the industry, and never had / heard of any issues with the converter pilot not fitting into the crank. I know if you've got a pre 1967 engine, then the pilot will be smaller in diameter.
They're not very thick so don't go crazy trying to cut it down in size.

Yes, I'm trying to. I can't pull the converter forward at all because it is stuck in the crankshaft! When I take the tranny back out, the converter stays in the crank shaft. I have to twist and turn the converter to get in unstuck again.

I looked up the numbers on the converter and they say it is for a 318. I assume they did that because it has no weights on it, (since to told them it was a neutral balanced engine)
Is it at all possible that the pilot hole in the 360 crank is smaller then a 318 would be?

Nope Automatic cranks have the same size pilot hole from late 1967 on
