This collar/spacer came in the box of used parts, and I'm not sure where it goes. It has a key hole, so I assume it goes on the crank somewhere. Any ideas? http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb458/vincejohnston/IMAGE_0151.jpg http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb458/vincejohnston/IMAGE_0141.jpg Also, it looks like the center of my balancer is rusted. Are there supposed to be cuts through to the front? Do I need a new one? http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb458/vincejohnston/IMAGE_0161.jpg Thanks for all the help, Vince Last edited by Coachie; 05/15/2012 6:33 AM. Reason: pics didnt work

Is it possible someone tried to get the balancer off without a puller and caused that? I know that in my ignorance when I was first trying to remove my balancer, I ended up cutting deep inserts into the side of mine on accident, just like that. I ended up getting a new one. If the cuts looks to be caused by a chisel or something like that, and it worries you, you might want to consider a new one. I got mine for fairly cheap. 1957' Chevy Pickup My welcome thread: Introduction and Story My Album: 57' Chevy 3100 W/235
