Re: [AMC-list] Six Cylinder Balancers

If you haven't done so, I would score a timing cover from a 4.0L and a newer 4.2L balancer with the PS pulley already built in. Running the 4.0L cam button will eliminate a LOT of AMC 6 issues down the road.

I'm putting together a rebuilt long block 232 for my 76 Gremlin.??The long block 
is a factory rebuilt 1972 version.? ?I need to use the late 70s/early 80s 
version of the crankshaft balancer (thick balancer) instead of the skinny 
60s/early 70s balancer because I'm using the 76 timing cover.? I'm using the 76 
balancer in order to get the belt alignment where it needs to be (out in front 
of that electronic probe fixture on the time cover).? If you've put together 
many six cylinder motors you may know what I"m talking about.
 
So my question:? As far as the function of the balancer, any six cylinder 
balancer will work right??? I know?an inline six cylinder engine is 
basically?balanced by it's very nature.?
