So you are definately in about 11/32" further than before. Good work but are you just saying it's the same or it IS exactly the same. If it's exactly the same, your input shaft will be touching your crankshaft. No good, it needs some clearance but this is not your problem.
11/32" makes me think you are engaged with the splines, it's IN the pilot bearing and even in the crank. Check the front bearing retainer and the big hole on the bell housing for burrs or nicks. They are a tight fit.
Those alignment tools often are sagged down to the bottom as the weight of the disc pulls down on everything before you tighten the pressure plate bolts. I like to find the slop and center the tool before I clamp the disc down with the bolts.

Well I would agree with that if he said 1/2" to 1" but 11/32" away? The input shaft is already in the pilot bearing/bushing.
Either way. It couldn't hurt to release the pressure plate and free up the disc, the disc and bearing may be out of line and forcing the input shaft onto an angle and it's part way in.

i had this exact problem just installing my tko 600. Had the bellhousing on the motor first and had the splines engaged and into the pilot bearing but fealt like it hit a wall. Pulled off the bellhousing and installed it on the tranny first and the ol gurl slipped right in. Although it was a tight squeeze from the bearing retainer and bore of the bellhousing.
