Are the two factory harmonic balancers the same? ('70's vs '80's). The 1974 damper I have has a huge amount of weight cast into it. The 1982 damper that I have has a smoother, lighter design where the weight has been removed (machined away) to balance it. I am not sure that they are completely interchangeable. I'm sure many have done the swap with no known ill effects. I am hesitant. The crankshafts also appear to be machined differently to me (at least the ones that I am comparing).


Too many cars, too many parts, too little coin, too little space to work in, too little time left to make it all happen! Update: down to one ride, still too many parts, a little more jingle in the pocket, gaining space, and it's going to happen this year!
