Torque Converter Install Question

[jts98z28]

hey i put a th400 with a 4000 stall in my car today and a hughes performance flexplate, is the converter supposed to be as far back to the transmission as possible? i have never put in a transmission before and im not sure if i should run a spacer or not, the guy i bought it off of says he didnt run one but im not sure
thanks

I had about 1/8" clearance between the converter and bolted it up with out a spacer.
