Harmonic Balancer
Trying to break loose bolt holding balancer to crank (351m), is it right hand or left hand thread ? Don't want to break my engine stand using a cheater bar and that babie won't budge, help!

Those bolts are hell (mine is a bolt, and i think yours will be too)... i feel for you. Mine is a 92 with a 302 and the thread was the usual (clock-wise tightening). I would advice replacing it once you take it out, if you keep the old one it might break the next time you try to take it out.
Do you have a damper puller tool (duck's foot)? you will be needing one. Ampro sells a nice one, strong and inexpensive.
