I held the new flex plate up to the old flex plate and the old torque converter. It really wasn't even a close fit. My flex plate does have two holes drilled in it at each ear but they appear to be set at the same diameter. I held the new flex plate up to the hemi flex plate that came on my donor motor and the bolt holes match perfect, but when I hold it up to my old flex plate they just don't match.

Your last post makes no sense, Mopar has used two different diameter bolt circles on 727 converters, 10" and 11". The original '66 would have used the 11" bolt circle, if you got a flexplate with the 10" bolt circle it obviously wouldn't work, all you needed to do was get a flexplate for the 11" bolt circle. Sending the converter back to have the drive lugs moved was an unneccessary expense, TCI should have advised you to that.
A change in the thread size of the drive lugs shouldn't necessitate a "shim kit", sounds like TCI screwed you all around.
