What's the scoop on the torque converter bolts? I planned to use the ones that came with the Circle D converter but read somewhere that they're too long for the 4L80e flywheel?? Is that why you have the ARP bolts?

Here is a picture of the bolts side by side. The shorter is the ARP bolt. The longer is the one that Circle-D shipped with the TC. If you don't need any spacers, then the ARP is the way to go. If you need to use one of the spacers/shims then I will have to use the bolts supplied. I ordered the ARP bolts because I didn't think they were sending me any with the converter. Was happy to open the box and see them.
