1972 350 Harmonic balancer help

[1972 Jimmy]

Hello all,
Need some help determining what is the factory correct harmonic balancer for a 1972 350ci in my 4x4 jimmy. I'm not sure on the diameter or thickness. If anyone has the casting or part numbers the would be great as well!
Thanks,
Eric

Part numbers are all in the part number books. I will guess 12551537 but you'd have to look up your own truck.

I found 10 on RockAuto.com, so not to be "that guy", but Google first.

Long story short (more experience mechanics can correct me here if I'm wrong) the 350 is a neutral balance engine so as long as it fits your crank snout the only question you really need to answer is how much you want to spend.

You can pick up a Dorman brand new for $30.

You can spend $500 on a liquid-filled, SFI approved, turbocharged 3D version.

It is my understanding that with a neutral balance engine you could run a 6.75 inch or an 8 inch (or pretty much anything that is also neutral balance). I imagine your original is 6.75 by 2.375 and just over 8 lbs. But there are HD optional ones, 8 inch replacement ones, and so on.

If you have the original short water pump you will need to run a 6.75" balancer. The 8" will interfere with the swp. If you have a swapped in lwp you can run either from a clearance standpoint, but im not sure about pulley alignment. I try to keep mine all either swp/6.75/ swp pulleys/ swp brackets or lwp/8"/lwp pulleys/ brackets.
