16 huh? Is there something that you're not telling us? Do you have a 16 volt system in there?

Ruh roh, I smell trouble........ During the install of the TQ converter, you should have put the TQ converter on the input shaft and wiggled/spun it with gentle pressure toward the tranny. You should have heard/felt 3 clicks. That way you would know she is set in place. If she is not all the way on, you can have a bound up engine. Try turning the engine over by hand with the crank pulley (clockwise)
Friendly FYI, this happened to Whitey, and the trans went up about a month later ;) Speaking with the trans guy and research on the interwebs, bolting the motor to the trans with the TC not all the way in can cause the front pump to be damaged.
