Weighted crank spacer

1979 was the change-over year where ford went from internal to external balance on these motors. (internal is just the spacer, external is the spacer with the flyweight) I have purchaced several 79 down (straight) spacers from the ford dealership without any problem, I don't see why they couldn't get the newer 79-up style.
Also the 79-up flywheels were weighted, make sure you match everything up correctly or get ready for vibration!!!
Good Luck!
