Harmonic balancer clearance

[Skip FIx]

I used a Quikor on a Honda years ago. Really first rate hardware and quality on that one.

I don't know if its the same outfit,but back when 2nd gen F bodies were still the rage for types of racing where you made left and right hand turns,Quikor Eng. made tons of chassis stuff for them.

Here's a picture of one here in my shop.

As above: if you put the crank gear on backwards it won’t go on all the way I.e. the champher (if there is one) should face the crank throw. The gear needs the champher to relieve the “strain” on the crank radius.

Okay thanks for the picture. Yeah I had a reputable shop rebuilt the engine. When I put the pulley on it lined up
With the water pump pulley so everything appears to be lined up correctly

 

[Gofish]

It looks about like mine. If the flange pushed past the oil seal on the timing gear cover so it will seal and the pulley lines up with the water pump you’re there. Be careful using a hammer on that though (or don’t do it) - a balancer install tool is far gentler and can be borrowed from big auto parts stores (like O’Reilly’s, etc.).

Got a guy needs custom made harmonic balance for nhra in his 454. Anyone have business to contact?

Problem solved. I had the wrong front stabilizer bar. I purchased the one that Paul suggested a addco 706 and it fit perfect. Now I have room for belts.

 

[Don Jacks]

Why are you using a "marine" style fuel pump on that engine?

 

[Jayz63]

That is the pump that autozone called for and many other auto part stores. Would there be a problem using that specific pump

 

[Don Jacks]

No it won't cause any issues on a street car,.Be sure to check it's out put pressure.It shouldn't exceed 6 psi,if it does,regulate it down.

 

[Jayz63]

It flows 50 gallons per hour at 6psi

You don't go to autozone for 409 parts, just saying

 

[Jayz63]

Lol maybe you have a point.

 

[Jayz63]

Even on the carter website for fuel pumps it list that as the correct one.

 

[1958 delivery]

You need to measure the psi, those figures (150gl @ 6.5psi) is a rating not necessarily what it puts out installed

 

[427John]

It does appear to be the good carter style with the big inlet and outlet,so long as the pressure is right it should have enough flow provided the engine isn't a big high powered stroker.

 

[Jayz63]

Yeah not a stroker but just a beefed up stock motor. Maybe I’ll remove that nipple on the pump. It does bug me a bit. Lol.
