Never, ever use a hammer to pound in a converter ! The last "step" on a GM converter is the drive tangs for the pump . If the drive slots on the converter are not aligned with the tangs , then pounding in the converter could cause them to break off . I usually hold the pilot so it doesn't droop down , then spin the converter while lightly pushing in on the converter . Works for me !
