I was running my SC last night after upgrading the alternator to a 130A from another Ford. I noticed, and she has been doing this for a while now, when it was idling, it had an random misfire that would not go away.
For some reason, I was looking at the crank pulley, and although it was not wobbling at all, I noticed that when the engine would misfire, the balance ring on the HB was sliding off the hub to the front and rear of the engine, back and forth, hence causing the misfire.
I have had another SC, a 91 I think where the HB just broke completely off. I am glad I caught this early so at least nothing else is damaged.
I have gone through the posts and have found one that listed a Dayco (Powerbond) balance, #PB1530N. The problem with this one is with the exciter ring for the CP sensor is incorrect. Can just the exciter ring be swapped for the one off my existing balancer? I liked the fact that this Dayco balancer was all cast iron and not aluminum hub, iron balance ring, like the factory junk.
I also found this one from Rock Auto, #ATP 102020 by ATP. It has the correct exciter ring, but I am pretty sure has an aluminum hub, which I am not thrilled with at all.
Right now, I need to get my car on the road and cannot even thing about a BHJ, as great as they sound, even the billet one, they are ridiculously priced, especially through SCP.
Any help you can give is greatly appreciated!
