All of which, I would not be able to do with the converter installed in the trans. I guess I'm just gonna have to keep at it with the emery cloth  |
I think the difference in measurement is due to the difference in measuring id and od. If the snout of the converter was truly larger than the recess in the crank you would not get it in, wiggling or not.
If it's truly larger you'll probably need it machined.
