im putting 1975 date stamped heads on the new motor. completely gone thru with fresh valve job. im looking for rockers and i can not find any stock rockers for a 5/16 stud. every aftermarket rocker is either 3/8 or 7/16. and no old stock parts... anyone else ran into this?
second question is about the harmonic balancer. i bought a new one and installed it. the motor is at top dead center but the TDC mark for the balancer is at about 1-2 oclock. it should be at about 11 o clock. i know they had a few different spots for the TDC pointer throughout the years and this balancer is supposed to be for 1969-1985 351w's. what im wondering is if the balancer is weighed to be in a specific position on the crank? im not so concerned with the timing marks. ive made my own.
