We have had problems with some converters like you are having, including a couple PTC's. Over the past year I have installed about 100 converters, and here is what has worked for us on the "problem" converters.
I'll try to describe what we do in these extreme cases, and it has never been over 10-15 minutes to seat the worst of them. First, on the converter "shaft" there are 2 large notches that fit into the pump. Take a file and knock down the sharp edges, 2 at each opening. Put a rag into the opening to keep any filing from going into the converter.
Then, while spinning the on the input shaft, hit the converter repeatedly on the "nose" FIRMLY with a heavy rubber mallet.
This should convince the most stubborn converter to head home!
Just a Six??
OK! Who Farted??

This is not the same but I got one from Pats that would not go on period & it was not the first time I used one from him. It is possible they screwed up like he did on mine. When he sent back the new one it went on as it should & he paid shipping Both ways. So it's possible the converter is just bad.

Sounds like you have had enough. You need to find another trans to trial fit this convertor into.If it will go into a different trans ,then your front bushing is damaged ,or spline problem.If not ,send it back for warantee.This is not supposed to be that hard.

It Took Me 2 Hrs To Install Mine,,1 Hr To Clean Up Splines That Had Swelled Due To Treating Process On A Billit Input Shaft ,,(small File And Elbow Grease)..then App 45 Min To Align Spin Swear Push And Voila ,,,,,all The Way In ,,,,,,marco Look In The Tc With A Flash Light Do U See Tiny Marks From The Input Shaft If You Tried To Force It In ...maybe You Have Created Burs On The Splines In The Torque ....this Is What I Believe Is Happining To You
I just tried for another twenty minutes, no luck. I won`t have time this weekend to work on the car with work and the kids, its going to go to monday night. I will try Nick Micale`s tricks, and might go see JB or Snowbird(Bob) to see if they have a spare input shaft that I could try on my torque just to make sure the convertor is ok. I don`t think anything is wrong with my tranny because my 12 inch goes in perfect, and my brother`s PTC went in also after a while. The only difference that I could see between my brother`s convertor and mine is that mine is a lot more free. Spins very easily and moves up and down very easily compared to my brother`s PTC torque.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions everyone.

I got your message while I was on vacation. May be best to send it back and let me look at it. We can go from there. Call me Monday and I'll give you the shipping info.
My friend JB lent me a input shaft and it doesn't go into the convertor splines, but goes right in my brother's PTC and my red stripe convertor. I guess there is the problem. Spoke to Dusty and will be shipping it back to PTC so they could check it out and fix the problem. Can't wait to get the convertor back so I could get a chance to try it, and hopefully it works as great as everybody says.
