Hi everybody, Chris at BHJ here.
Last week, we received a used (broken) factory damper from a customer looking to get his 1989 Super Coupe back on the road. This part he sent is clearly for use on an externally-balanced crankshaft, as it has a counterweight similar to what one would see on a 302/5.0, etc.
The stock appearing, steel Super Coupe pulley (PN: E9SE-6312-CA) is bolted on the front and it has the three-window ignition reluctor bolted on the back.
The part number machined into the damper itself is E9SE CA K 88. This appears immediately clockwise of the 30 degrees BTC marks.
I spoke to Bill Evanoff and he thinks this might go to a Duracast crank motor. Looking at some threads, I saw some info suggesting the Duracast was externally balanced. There is a FAQ as well, but I am unable to access it, so I can look no further.
BHJ does not currently make an externally-balanced Super Coupe damper and I'd like to help steer this customer in the right direction. Any help positively identifying this part number or situation is greatly appreciated, as always.
I will upload some photos next...
Cheers,
Chris @ BHJ
