good point miracle. thats something lots of guys have done with the converter. carefully slide the converter into the trans until it bottoms lightly, then, with slight inward pressure, turn the converter until it "clunks" into place in the pump drive. at this point it should also push further into the pump housing as well. this is because the drive lugs on the pump slip into the recessed areas of the converter and allow the converter to fully seat. if in doubt try installing the converter a couple times on an old trans without the front seal in place, you can see the pump drive easily that way.
sometimes a good idea is to mark the bolts with a pint pen after they have been torqued properly, then,months later, you just have to take a quick look to see if the bolts got tightened up properly.
