What is the proper size and length of the harmonic balancer bolt on a 170? I got a 3/4 coarse thread 1.5 inches and it doesn't feel like it's the right size. It's a 66 170. I want to have a crank bolt on it so I can turn the crank if I need to adjust timing and I just feel more secure that there's a bolt there even if it doesn't make a difference.
 
I believe it's fine thread, not coarse. A factory bolt is just short of 1 5/8" long from under the head to the end of the threads.
 
borrowed from slantsix.org


The crankshaft vibration dampener bolt is 3/4"-16 UNF, 2.3 inches long, with a 1.5 inches minimum length threaded area.
You will also need a thick washer, the washer is 1-15/16" x 1/4".
