I have a th350 in my 79 vette and I installed the torque converter wrong a month ago. now the crankshaft wont turn, and the converter wont come off! I have decided to replace it, but I dont want to replace any tranny parts, if I haven't damaged them already. Help!

I think its seized in the pump bushing, gently try to pry it out of the transmission.
I also think your going to find the pump and the converter damaged from improper installation.
When you install the converter you have to keep spinning it while gently pushing it in, until you feel it drop all the way into the pump.
