My balancer has spun about 8 degrees on my pump gas,internal balance,408" small block. The brand is Romac. When I went to adjust timing I discovered this.

Is this a big problem, other than setting timing?

What brand do you guys recommend? I need to bolt on the factory 70 Dart pulley.

You're on a roll today

All kidding aside, you have a bomb with the fuse lit. Immediately remove and disgard it, as it's a disaster waiting to happen. ATI is without a doubt the way to go.

A bad balancer is one of the fastest ways to trash a stroker crank

To totally avoid any "spinning" issues .... some people way back when bought those aluminum hubs. Remember those ?

Remember what happened when people put those on their moders ?

I can't tell by looking at it, but you can when you put the timing light on it.

was told a long time ago, paint a line across the body and the ring and keep an eye on the line to see it stays lined up.
