Well I guess I will be the minority here that likes a Fluidamper  I have used them on all my engines and a few more that I built for friends. Gus

Most on here will tell you ATI.
However, we went with one of these http://www.professional-products.com/dampersProductchrysler.php on my motor as it also isn't turning over 7K and Scott has had really good results in the past with them.
The only thing to note is remove each screw around the orange ring and add a dab of Loctite to em.

I thought the Professional Products dampers had a reputation for the outer ring spinning on the hub. Isn't that the brand that board member "RAMM" had fail during their EMC pulls a couple of years ago, or am I mistaken as to which damper they were using? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Any one else on this one? It looks like a good price?
I can also tell you it is made in Australia and not China.
Here it is on my eng. And all the belts line up fine. Ron
I have one on my 408 and I needed the AR .125 crank spacer for some reason. Pulley needed to come out that far.
It's a nice damper though.

Perhaps that's the reason Scott said to add the Loctite to each of the screws

Sure looks the same. And it is SFI approved. I have used two of them on my eng and my buddies. I liked the fact that my alt belt lined up perfect. I know the ATI balancer does not line up right with stock pulleys. And I heard that the one's made in Australia are usually good ones.  Ron

ATI is the best ......
Agreed, but they are also the most expensive.
If I had a more serious effort race engine with 20-25k in it, I would. But instead I spent the difference on a distributor.
I just have a street engine and I felt the ATI might be overkill on it, so I got the same one as the guys above, but for a smallblock.
It's nicely made, looks nice and people seem happy with them.
