Re: [AMC-list] Six Cylinder Balancers

yeah, swap away they are all neutral.
You know to check belt alignment.
Also be sure to check the TDC mark is correct.
I had to cut a fresh notch when I ran v-belts on my 4.0L.
Just used a hacksaw blade and made a mark, then put a dab of paint in it to be sure I timed off the correct notch.
