SPECIAL NOTE: The components packaged in this kit have been assembled and machined for specific type of conversions. Modifications to any of the components
will void any possible warranty or return privileges. If you do not fully understand modifications or changes that will be required to complete your conversion, we strongly
recommend that you contact our sales department for more information. This instruction sheet is only to be used for the assembly of Advance Adapter components.
We recommend that a service manual pertaining to your vehicle be obtained for specific torque values, wiring diagrams and other related equipment. These manuals are
normally available at automotive dealerships and parts stores.
9. Slide the new torque converter assembly into the transmission, making sure that it is fully engaged with the cogs on the pump.
The transmission should now be prepped for final installation.
10. It's now time to install the transmission assembly to the back of the block. DO NOT FORCE . Once the GM transmission is
connected to the Ford block, the bolt torque specification of 35 ft./lbs. is recommended. The torque converter assembly should
have at least a 1/16" to 1/8" gap between the torque converter ring and the Ford flexplate. The torque converter must be slid
forward to meet the flexplate. This will allow proper clearance on the GM transmission to prevent pump damage. If the torque
converter is not able to move forward or it is preventing the transmission to be bolted flush to the adapter plate, check the
engagement between the torque converter and the transmission. This area is often overlooked (Refer to Page 5 for
measurements). If the torque converter is able to move 1/16" to 1/8", install the bolts to couple the torque ring to the flexplate.
11. Make the necessary modifications to the new plastic dust cover and install.
