7. Install the flexplate to the engine crank using the proper bolts and torque
specifications. Make sure the flexplate has clearance and does not drag on
adapter plate.
8. AMC starters had a few different configurations. The starter Bendix on these
AMC starters have TWO throw lengths (
See Picture 8b ). This is to match
the different locations of the ring gear on the flywheels (
See Picture 8a
).
Make sure your Bendix has the proper engagement on the flywheel. Failure
to obtain this can cause premature failure of the Bendix or flywheel.
9. Fit the starter and check for proper clearances. Make sure the starter is
indexed into the dust cover plate.
10. Crank your engine around by bumping the starter. This will enable you to
make sure the Bendix teeth mesh with the flywheel. Check the clearance
between the flywheel and adapter plate.
12. The torque converter must be installed into the transmission and you must
verify the depth of the torque converter pad. The depth should be
approximately 1-1/16". Refer to the illustration on Page 5. If this dimension
is not achieved, failure to the transmission may occur. The torque converter
should be filled with proper fluid before final assembly.
11. test fit the aluminum torque conver ring into the AMC crank, it should be a snug to slip fit. If it does not fit check your
crank for burs. Remove from the crank and install converter adapter to the torque converter with either the metric bolts
for the 700R or the standard bolts for the TH350 or TH400.
