I have used the same bell. I am using the original flexplate . The pump has been replaced not rebuilt. I sent the converter to tci to have them go through it. Where can I get a billet rotor for the pump

I personally would swap in a new flex plate and a new bell. Try to set your converter clearance to .125(1/8") and see what happens. I'll be honest here I'm not a big fan of TCI stalls and have seen some sick run out on them. However in your case you have broke pumps with two different converters.

Vince is absolutely correct in suggesting that you have the hub runout checked on your converter. Vince you might be on to something regarding the dowels and overall alignment. If the pump is not centered the it will take out the pump for sure.
When this pump comes out can you get us some good pics of it disassembled? We might be able to see something that will lead us to the problem.
And most defininitely the crank thrust needs to be checked as well.
