Subject:torque converter question..

hey all,
finally got my used 84 auto transmission delivered.. to my surprise it
came with the torque converter... i removed the torque converter to
check for leakage at the seal.
There was only a little bit of oil around the seal.. but i am going to
replace it anyway. My question is this. On the seal surface on the
torque converter.. there is a groove .. is that suppose to be there?
This is my first run in with an auto trans.. and am a bit of a newbie..
i just want to make sure i don't miss anything before i put the trans
in...
any info would be grand..
thanks all,
jesse
89 carat
ps. wanted to thank everyone for there input on whether the 84 trans
would fit into my 89 van... thanks for helping me make sure i did not
buy a big paper weight!!
