Not sure if the issue is only the flexplate or how to go forward. tried to post some pics but not successful
samckay, a couple of things come to mind here now, you might be all good with the front pump, provided that the 3/16'' difference in the flex plate did not cause any binding at the pump. (under normal circumstances , tightening up the converter nuts can draw the converter foreward near that much.) the other thing , wondering how much crankshaft end play you may actually may have, especially seeing this was a manual transmission.. you may well be out of the woods here, but I will suggest checking crankshaft end play while checking for clearance between the spacer and flexplate.
