I did and I had the same problem. I had to drill my own holes in the Hurst Bracket to get the Torque Arm Clamshell bracket to fit. Stupid Hurst.

Hurst's swap kit allows the installation of the GM TH-350 or TH-400 transmission in the 1982-92 Camaro/Firebird.

this could be part of your problem

Nah, even through 82-92 there were 3 different styles of Torque Arm Clamshell brackets used. I did my install on a 89 IROC-Z and it didnt work for me. I think the problem is with Hurst. Even the instructions were retarded.

Not sure if it threw the pinion angle off or not, sorry. Haven't noticed any problems with it yet. Just drill it so it mounts relatively close to the position Hurst wanted.
