I am in need of a harmonic balancer 28 ounce stock for 302W

does napa carry them where do you get them from??

I got one a few years ago from martel bros (aftermarket) to replace a cracked one and now my timing just seems horibble off now

I pulled the timming cover and the chain is dead on marks line up beatiful but it appears the markings on the balancer either slipped or they were never in the right spot to begin with (aftermarket balancer)


cylinders have 150-160 psi
I did the Tdc check with a piston stop and it appeared the intake valve was opening right on schedule--3 btdc as per the cam card...

symptoms-- adjust timing so it runs and it pings
set it back down horrible take off can you say slug

fuel problem maybe edel 1406
ignition is MSD 6AL

I got some video with car running it post tommorow..

I have checked and checked everything else the timing is off because of the marks. I don't know if they moved or if they were ever in the right spot to begin with.

So the question is should I stay with the existing balancer just remark TDC or replace the assembly 70.00 to 250 bux depending on which one

any body running the fluidampr
