flex plate to converter spacers

Use thick AN type washers, or make your own with a lathe.

As mentioned elsewhere, make certain that the pilot of the converter extends well into the bore on the back of the crank shaft.

try TE-CO Union Ohio--they make xtra thick hardened washers usually for use in machine shops for machine tool holding but never the less they make them--- probably from 1/4 in dia up to 1 1/2 inch several thicknesses

Ace Hardware has an assortment of thick washers. I bought some for just that purpose. Not having the converter in far enough can result in the front pump drive lugs breaking off. I learned that the hard way last year.
