Hey All,
Having some trouble identifying the correct harmonic balancer for my engine and hoped you could help.
My current engine is a 1971 302 (D10E-6015-AA) and is installed in my '68 Mustang. The current balancer appears to have gone bad (has a slight wobble) and uses 3 bolts for the pulley.
I went to a parts store and asked for a balancer for a 1971 Ford 302 and they supplied me with a 4 bolt version that looks significantly more robust than my current balancer.
On my engine, the water pump is from a 1968 Mustang, which leads me to suspect that the balancer and pulley is also from a 1968 Mustang.
So... the big question is which balancer is correct? Do I currently have the wrong balancer installed and it should in fact use the 4 bolt model the parts store supplied? If so, what do I do about the pulley (replace, drill for 4 bolt, etc.?).
I am stumped and would appreciate any help. Thanks!
