I hope some of the old timers read this.. for others, maybe learn something?
The patient, the wrecked 95 SC I bought little over 2 years ago. Hit so hard on RF ground level concrete that the K member bent, snapped the steering rack and tire/suspension into firewall. Everything fixed and close to 'enhanced' PA inspection to get the salvage title updated. On a recheck of car finishing things up, noticed/remembered the crank pulley was dented when the car was wrecked. I figure the balancer has about 9 minutes till it breaks even though the car only has 70k miles and is stunningly stock and baby'd.
I have 2 of the very first run BHJ balancers. Patting self on back, I was the one that got BHJ to make the balancers in the first place and have 2 of the 5 made in that first batch. 1 of the units has never been installed. For the early runs of balancers, if they were being used on a 94-95, BHJ made a spacer ring to put the crank sensor in the right spot. I think it was about a 1/2". Anyone happen to have one of these to give me a spec? Worst case, I can use a friends lathe and Bridgeport to make my own after getting some measurements off the couple balancers I have around. I'm hoping that I can use a 302/351 pulley spacer as my stock material and just machine it to what I need. Something like this... 302/351 pulley spacer
Anybody remember these? I think the spacers were supplier into the middle 2000s when the 94-95s got their own part number.
Thanks,
