Ok, I am tired, sore, and confused. I need help here.
I can't figure out this transmission coupling. I bought torque converter listed as being for a C4/5.0 combo. I checked it against the existing flex plate and the studs lined up perfectly. Set existing flex plate against C4/5.0 bell housing, it doesn't fit at all, not surprising since said flex plate is presumably for an AOD.
Go to swap meet today, find flex plate that says 302, count teeth, 150-something, guy says it came from a C4, has the big 50oz looking-sized weight on it, grab it, bring it home, check it, it lines up on the crank, it fits the bell, the converter studs don't line up. WTF?
I am about to start cutting stuff up until it fits together the way I want. I am good at that, this auto trans BS is for the birds.
