During the planning stage of changing my long shaft water pump to a original 216 pump with a water pump relocation adaptor plate, I was trying to find out what harmonic balancer was installed. I took measurements, and then snapped a picture. Ugh! It looks like the wrecking crew installed this one. It appears that it is not fully seated and was installed with a BFH as evidenced by the marks on the hub and rivets. In addition it appears that the cast iron balancer is cracked thru.
I just got insurance and I thought we were ready to put her on the road. I don’t want to think what would happen if that cast iron balancer came apart while driving. This just made my top of the must do list.
Now the first of what I’m sure will be many questions. Is the crank shaft threaded on 1959 235? From the picture it doesn’t appear to be but I can’t really tell.
