This is a Hughes gm-20 torque converter for a th350. I’m dealing with a blown out thrust bearing. I checked the fit today and noticed when i mount the converter to the pads this nipple is hitting the brass pilot bushing in the crank. I double checked my converter spacing when installing the trans and it is with 1/8-3/16” fully seated in the trans. My question is has anyone ever seen this nipple on a torque converter, all my research has shown they are typically flat on the face. I am waiting a response from Hughes.
