Default Re: Harmonic Balancer

Thanks for all the info guys as I said at the start I want a balancer for the front as the flywheel works well at the rear I have already broken 1 crankshaft
I have a Chev balancer the smallest 1 6.25 inch mounted on the engine and will reluctantly trim the cross member but can not find a pulley that lines up with water pump pulley in 5/8 or 1/2 inch closest is 3/8 forward
what pulley are you guys using

I used a 3/8 wide belt riding in a Moroso pulley that bolted onto the front of the dampner. This placed the belt too far forward to line up with the alternator, so I used a double groove pulley off of an old Riviera, and used the front groove. It works cause the speedster uses an electric fan and water pump.
