Neal Chance converter question!!!!!!

[Mach1Marauder]

Got a Neal Chance bolt together for a glide and a 4.6
The bolt pattern measures to 10 3/4 not like 11 1/2 on my old flexplate for my c-4 OR what PA sells with the dual bolt pattern of 10 1/2 and 11 1/2!:smt076
What dang manufacturer's flexplate do I need to get?
This is not on my car, but I have to duplicate it next week on mine!!!
I need help!!

The converter is setup with the GM bolt pattern. I see that JW has a "wheel" for the mod motors. I'd give them a call and see if its drilled for the GM converter pattern.

I kinda figured it might be a GM pattern. I think I can get a PA or a ATI flexplate for a modmotor with a chevy pattern. I just noticed a asterisk notation on one of the sites.

Just got a new JW Wheel and it is 10 1/2 and 10 3/4 bolt pattern.

Seems like they are the only one making that flexplate for that combo now!
I just ordered one a few minutes ago.

make sure you grind off the powder coating around the holes on the jw piece. will separate and the bolts will back out, otherwise it's a great piece.

Hmmmmm..........I hope they didn't put it together already. I'll have to check.

pull it apart and do this fo sho. ruined one to share this helpfull tip. $200 mistakes suck

I was told to run a lock nut on the backside of the converter where the bolt goes through the converter lugs. Are you guys just running the bolts only?

never had a problem with it after we took off the coating, its not a bad thing.

We run luck nuts, and I recommend everyone to do the same.

Did you have to visit a VooDoo woman to get those "luck nuts"?:rolleyes:

[Injected65]

I also ran lock nuts on my converter, but if you could let me know where you found the luck nuts I sure could use some.

Hey Chris you just use a good steel locking nut... Just dont use the ny-lock type on a turbo car the heat will melt them... If your not sure call me ya fool!!!!!

[Injected65]

That's what I have on there now. I put them on there since that was what we were running on the Nova @ Procharger. Now if I can just find some of those luck nuts i'll be set! lol
