Turbo Action

Well i got my new torque converter in. So now its time to put that bad boy in.But i have never had a stall in the dart and when i read the instructions it says to make sure to push back towards the trans then pull forward against the flexplate and there should only be a min of 1/16 and a max 1/8 of movement. Is that right .I`m a painter/bug man. I know how to work on the cars and make them run ,but i didn`t no if this is anything different than the stock converter please help and sorry if this makes no sence
