240-6 Harmonic Balancer
Please help.I need some input from you guys.
I have been experiencing vibration in my 1965 f100 truck. I was confident that I would eventually run it down and I'm pretty sure I have found that the harmonic balance pulley is the problem. I have been using an electronic timer so I had no need to pay any attention to the timing notch on the crankshaft pulley.
After checking out all of the possible contributors to the vibration I have narrowed it to the balancer pulley on the crankshaft. The timing mark on the pulley is off about 30 degrees
so, after checking the drive shaft, transmission, clutch assembly,pilot bearing I finally thought I'd kill the engine right at the speed the vibration was the worst,first in neutral, and then in gear with clutch disengaged. The vibration went away. I wish I had thought of doing that before.
Now my problem is finding a good used or new harmonic balancer for the 240-6. Any idea's? I haven't had much luck.
