[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 127554, member: 483"] So I'm still kind of confused about this. Everything I've heard is that you can either run the flat 6.0 flexplate and no spacer or the dished flexplate and and the spacer. But both of these setups do different things. With the flat flexplate the starter gears will ride in a different spot on the starter and it will pull your converter out away from the trans presumably causing it to interface with the trans like it would on and old-school SBC application. Thus, it would seem to me that this setup is cherry from the perspective of the trans but not from the newgen engine's point of view. With the dished flexplate and the spacer it will push the converter closer to the trans and the starter gears should interface as they would in a stock application for a newgen engine. Thus, this setup would seem to be cherry for the engine but not the old school trans. But neither seems to be ideal. I asked this same question on Pirate and no one could answer it. I bought the parts to do both just in case. And my recollection is hazy but I've seen that AA kit years ago and IIRC the flex plate is flat and the spacer is not the same as the GM spacer. Thus, the AA kit is something different altogether. J. J. [/QUOTE]
