Thx

PS.....the shine from his engine bay blinded me....

oh yeah, did you clean the balancer up and remark the lines at the timing marks you desire? That makes it a lot easier to know what you have it set at. One usually has to access the balancer from under the car and turn the motor over by hand till the timing marks are accessible.

Good luck.

SO there are no timing marks anywhere on the outer circumference of the balancer?

I would get a new balancer. It should have marks and the fact that it does not would worry me.

Stock motor's (for your year) imbalance is 50 oz.

Some balancers have a bonded finish (like thick paint) on the outer ring and this has the timing info on it. WHen that coating starts to crack off, one can be left with a balancer which really shows no marks.
And if the balancer is on the outs (and the outer ring is oscillating), it can rub on surrounding metal (timing pointer, water pump on SN's, etc) and rub the marks or paint down.


They are not too hard to swap. If wanting a stockish replacement, I would go with a PP unit from LRS or something like a Pioneer Non-SFI unit.

Good luck.
