Someone school me on converter/pump relationship please!

Nice combination.
Cracked back posted: Call back and clarify.

You'll be a bigger fool putting it together and tearing something up.

Maybe a new converter bushing in your pump?
Not the fool part,obviously. Good aftermarket converter input snouts,are usually a less sloppy fit,that stockie stuff. Make sure it fits nicely. The bushing from one place,the converter from another. It sounds silly,I had to pull a transmission apart to fix it.Sorry ,about the post length.
