You must use the balancer and flex plate that has the CORRECT imbalance for the motor that you have.

An OEM built late model 302 has a 50 oz. imbalance.


If that motor has been been rebuilt or internals modified, the imbalance may have been changed.

Wow, you bump it after half an hour and say you need to check with another site because you didn't immediately get an answer on a Sunday morning? Go ahead over to SBF Tech. See how quickly you get answers on a Sunday morning, there, too. Have some patience...
