[FC] torque converter snout

[Diane Galli]

 No, you should NOT rotate it 180 degrees. It has a slot in the face that
lines up with the converter oil return tube down the side of the case. If it
is not installed properly, it will block more than half of the passage. I
know Jim is talking about the Stator shaft protruding out of the
differential. The bushing inside the converter snout rides on this
      I suspect you are talking about the converter seal, it rides on the
converter, you will need a new torque converter. I do not know of a sleeve
for this, although, you may check the size, then check with NAPA, Checker,
or whatever.

If it is not to bad you can just rotate it 180 degrees.. This does
require complete disassembly of the differential.  I just call Larry
Shaprio and get a good used one.  Be aware there are two different
ones one for 60-61 plus early 62 and mid 62 on.  No they are not
interchangeable. This know thanks to Bob Galli.  See Bob Ballew's
pamphlet on Corvair differentials for more info.
