Re: Vibration dampeners for 66-67 cars?

[farna@xxxxxxx]

Since I looked under the car and have found the rear seal leaking on the trans, I'm suspicious of the driveshaft. It's tight in the rear of the trans, and I can't think of anything else that could cause the rear seal to leak. When I get my bike here I'll pull it and have it balanced. I still want to find the vibration damper info though! Looks like that will make a good AIM article since no one seems to have any info on it.
