Oh yeh---the ATI 3 bolt dampner for Fords that have Chevy bolt pattern---
And the chevy pulleys aren't the correct back spacing to line up with Ford water pumps or alternators

I have had several dicussions with the ATI folks about this---and it didn't go very well--however one guy did offer to make custom set up for me----I carefully and as policticly correct as I could explained how much I liked there dampner but that if I was going to have someone build a setup just for me, I would probably get hundreds of them and they would see there ford sales go away


They , who are into dampening vibrations, have no clue that an uncentered pulley or drive system will cause a terrific harmonic that there dampner won't handle

Kind of goes back to the old "We been doing it this way for 30 years"
