Like BEAST477 and jed5161 said in your earlier string, (torque converter question) You have to have the converter dimensioned correctly for your application. Shims will not help with the pilot engagement, they cause the pilot to be removed from the crank. That is bad for you and your flex plate. The flex plate could be stock and will last forever if properly assembled, It is only made to turn the converter, not to hold it on center. Sorry about what happened, but there is no short cut to the correct set up for your car, you need the correct dimensioned parts for your application.
