bell housing wont bolt to block flush
mustang
sorry guys i know i am a torino guy, but my forum is currently down so going to outside help.
i have a 91, 331 and a 71 c4 i am combining. it was a 5 speed before now going to an automatic. when i bolt down the bell housing it always leave a small gap on one either left or right side. don't know what to do. the converter seated right, and lined up with flex plate fine.
also it was a manual before as i said i did not take out the throw out bearing is that the problem. if it is what do i replace it with? its almost like it is wabeling form left to right when i tighten down one side. like something in the middle is putting pressure on it.

I used a socket extension and toilet paper this past weekend. That works too. Use new toilet paper, no need to cheap out.
