Small block ATI damper? - 09/14/09 02:40 AM
OK so I have a steel 3 ring internal balance ATI super damper, and unfortunately the incorrect hub....
When I get the correct hub, and then machine it to correct the pulley spacing, will I then have to grind the stock timing tab completely off?
ATI's site mentions they have some sort of modified timing cover available, but I can't find a picture of it anywhere...what does it look like? Is it just a stock cover with an adjustable pointer bolted on?
Here's a quote from ATI's website...if anyone cares to translate, please do:
If it turns out to be a pain/not worth it, I can always use this 3 ring damper on another B engine project and get something else for the small block...

# Note: Hubs are dimensioned to clear the stock cast-in timing tab. The damper face for pulley mounting will be forward of the OEM location by: .150'' for 2-ring internal balance, .450'' for 3-ring internal balance, .750'' for 3-ring external balance. Hubs may be shortened by the listed amount for internal balance and .600'' (.150'' fwd of OEM) on external balance if the tab is cleared, or order ATI cover with adjustable tab (part # 916259). 2-ring internal balance can be installed in the OEM location with minor clearancing of the timing tab and retain OE timing mark.
If it turns out to be a pain/not worth it, I can always use this 3 ring damper on another B engine project and get something else for the small block...
