So just to reiterate here. Does the ring go on the inside of the flexplate to space the flaxplate away from the sandwich plate OR does it go on the outside of the flex plate? I only have 1 with my setup.
I have just mounted a rebuild C4 to my rebuilt Ford 200 and when getting to the final step of putting the nuts on the torque converter, when turning the motor off of TDC about 90% of the way around the motor stuck on something, like a TC bolt was hitting the sandwich plate. I call it a sandwich plate because I heard someone else call it that. Honestly i don't know what you call it. When inspecting the area, I could not see any bolts hitting. But it stops with a "clunk". Gads how depressing.
I tried to make sure the TC was positioned ALL the way in, to the line the Trans shop drew on the bell. it did pull the TC forward a tab when torquing down the nuts.
BTW I put the Ring on the crank and then the flexplate on the outside. Maybe this is the problem?

The ring is not a spacer. It's a flex plate enforcer ring. It distributes the load from the bolt heads to the flex plate. There is a picture of it if you click on the Zim's picture link above. So you have it wrong. Not sure if that's your problem though.
Thanks. So I'll be yanking that motor out again. I'm wondering if the machine shop guys gave me back the wrong flexplate bolts. I will certainly measure for the 15/16' length.
Could the trans be locking up?
Should I have this in neutral or does it matter? Kinda hard to tell where neutral is on this since I pulled the makeshift (no pun intended) T shifter out of the floor. I need to convert this back to column shift. It came with a broken shift collar and without the shift lever.
