No they didnt have the balancer. Or at least not that I remember. We probably told them we were using the 318 one and they ran with it.
Okay, I marked the balancer and revved the engine a few hard times and it never spun the outer ring.
SO, I guess when we thought it spun, it was becuase the timing mark wasnt visible when we went to time it. (This was years ago before life happened, I'm just now getting back to the girl) So, this tells me from what you folks have said, it's a late 60s 340 crank and was supposed to have a timing mark at the 10 o'clock position. We timed it by ear at the time (yeah, I know) and got it running decent, but would love to get it spot on.
So, does anyone know if they sell a bolt-on timing tab for the other side so I dont have to replace my timing chain cover?
Also, I've got a new trans mount coming. And I noticed my less than a rear old hi performance engine mounts are now sagging, but not ripped in half. I hate the 72 engine mount design...
If you guys have ideas of how to stop that, I'm all ears. Lol
I'll let you guys know if the new mounts solve my vibration issues!
