The Carl Munroe book, building a Race Powerglide, is an excellent tool. You can find it online and at TRS Racing

Also, be sure to double-check clearances since you are changing from a thrust washer to a bearing.

Shoot for .010-.015 end play with a bearing. Hopefully the pump comes with a shim kit. Make sure the pump gasket is installed when checking

So, got the pump, installed it without o-ring as per instructions to check clearances, all good.
Put o-ring on, went to install everything, it wouldn't slide in. Looked everything over real good, CRAP, I broke the rings somehow! This trans still had the older metal rings. Ordered the newer teflon rings. Another delay.

When installing the front pump, try standing the transmission upright so that the high gear drum does not sag downwards.
Best of luck.

look inside the drum for wear from the metallic rings. Always use teflon rings. Is the transmission upright? Did you loosen the band?
