Rick:
Bennet recommended the 28 oz balancer. I will have to perform setting the #1 at TDC compression stroke and ck the degree markings on the dampner that line up with the marker. Bennett told me to start the engine (which we have) and retard the timing until the engine began to rough idle then advance just beyond when it smooths out (which we have). Bennett told me this would probably be around 14 degrees advanced. I would like to be able to see this on the dampner with my timing light and know what I am looking at. I will ck the #1 at TDC tomorrow (Sun, 11/30) and get back to you.
Thanks for your help.
