Balancer
Anyone know what company makes an upscale balancer for a 390? Mine is the old 69 stock, the sleeve is worn and it mists oil on the engine.
Rather than just replace the sleeve I would like to get a new one perhaps with 360 degrees timing marks on it.
Thanks

Most aftermarket versions are like $350!!!
Seems there are some rebuilt factory ones, and you could buy the timing tape and glue it on.
I would just get a "speedie" sleeve on the spacer and repair yours. Been there, works great. Put a new timing seal in too and it should be nice and dry again for 100K miles.
You know that they are two separate pieces right? (just checking)

Here is a link from ebay. I know of some guys who have purchased these brands...and have had good luck. Just do a search for the 390...
Hope this helps...

Dennis at DSC sells a nice selection of aftermarket balancers starting at $60 and up. You can always pickup a good Ford one on ebay for like $20 also. The 428CJ C8AE-A1 and A2's are pretty common. Just be sure the rubber is in really good shape if you go used. G.

Thanks yous guys.
I think I may go the stock route with a timing tape on it, but I like that $75 underpully at DSC. My 390 was out of a 69 Galaxy and has 3 grooves. I only need one and my motor idles high cause of my cam anyway.

LOL!! ya, sometimes I wonder?? It's really looking 100 yrs old now, with the numbers getting very hard to read since the clearcoat is flaking off 
Like usual, I pay top dollar..........then everyone comes out with one and they are dirt cheap
Buddy bought a Fluiddamper wayyyy back(early 90's) and paid BIGGGGG money for it. Back when they were the "only game in town". Now everyone stays away from Fluiddamper.
