Some aftermarket harmonic balancers and flywheels come as a universal part. You bolt on the weight for either 28 Oz. or 50 Oz. The stock late model cranks were all 50 Oz.

On any balance or vibration problem, I would look closely at the stock harmonic balancer first. They are known for slipping the outer ring and causing an imbalance.

See https://www.coasthigh.com/v/vspfiles/28ozbalance.html for more information.

thanks joe , the balancer that was on the motor was a 1 piece unit from dayco(power bond ) SFI unit and double key wayed by the machine shop . I swapped it with a. new frpp I already had to try to narrow the issue down and that wasn't the cause .

I too drove mine to work in the rain today. Although instead of an alt, I need a P/S rack. Mine locks up like its catching on something and I almost put it into a curb yesterday leaving work.

Are the axles 4 lug? Going to keep your gearing the same ratio when you get new ones to install the axles?

You have 3.55's right? I've never experienced those but I love my 3.73's a lot! My car is probably a fancy glove slap to the face while your's is more like a punch.
