My harmonic damper has come apart! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hooter · 04-28-2002, 12:48 AM

yesterday i went to adjust the timing on
my 74 cheyenne when i couldnt figure out why my timing mark was so far off until i had a closer look and discovered that the outer and inner damper had seperated. Has this ever happened to anyone else here?

they are only held together by rubber, nothing special, sounds liek you ned to find another one, hehehe
at least they are common, you cna use an 8" or a 7" one, your preference, depends on if you want ot rev quicker or have more momentum

do i have to use a harmonic damper off a 454 or would harmonic dampers off other engines work?

none other are externally balanced liek the 454 is, except for small lbock 400, but i dont think balancers share, i know where I might be able to get one off an old guy around the corner who runs a little paint shop in his beat up garage, lemme know if you cant find anything soon. i need to run by there anyways, see if he has my old 78 350 engine still from the big 10 i had, i need heads better than what i got now.

good luck

Your balancer is weighted in one spot,the 454 is external balance,as is the 400 sb. The balancers wont interchange between the 400,& the 454 though. ......69

MightyFine69 · 04-29-2002, 02:53 AM

I had that happen to me once. 1969 K20 4x4. I went to the dealership to get a balancer, and they wanted about $100. Went to Autozone, same part #, about $60.
