Harmonic Balancer on '78 L82 4spd??
Hey guys. Need to change out the harmonic balancer on my '78 L82 4 spd. Any suggestions on a good one to buy? It is just a driver and never driven hard. Also, tips on changing it out etc. and what else in close proximity to do while it's down would be appreciated too. Thanks.

These work great......team it with a premium timing pointer.

That Moroso pointer comes very close to TDC out of the package.
Mine on my 406 was spot on out of the package checked with my indicator and bridge.
Make setting timing a no brainer after you add these parts.....you will be glad you did.

I removed mine but I had the radiator out, power steering pump out of the way and accessed it from underneath.

Having the right tool for the job makes life so much easier. I used a tool made by Alltrade and it went a lot better than I was expecting.
I didn't remove the rad but did remove The mechanical fan and worked from above.
