Torque converter help
Hi all,
This is my first time doing a torque converter swap and I have a silly question.
I am at the tail end of the install...left the torque tube attached to the engine, transmission is bolted back up and the last thing to do is bolt the torque converter to the flex plate. The stocks bolts are too small for the torque converter. I can pretty much push the bolts straight in without turning them. The threads on the converter look okay. Do aftermarket torque converters normally use a different size bolt?
The converter is made by Performance Torque Converters out of Alabama and I purchased it from a forum member. The converter did not come with the bolts to attach to the flex plate. Does anybody know what size bolts I might need?
Here I thought I was home free after all of the hard stuff was finished.
Thanks in advance,
-Don

Hi Old Horsepower,
Roger on that... I left an email yesterday before posting however they are closed for the weekend. Just taking a stab in the dark somebody might know on this forum... Then I will go to the hardware store.
