72 duster resto

All right today I got a few updates. Put a new filter on the 727 and new gasket on the pan.

Following the instructions I mounted my flex plate to the motor as shown here but when I go to look at the torque converter there’s quite a gap. Is this normal? I assume if I start tightening the bolts down it’s gonna pull the torque converter toward the engine. Maybe that’s OK and that’s probably the way it’s supposed to be? I don’t know.
