1963 230 L6 harmonic balancer question

[Sharps40]

Looks like only Autozone has it. Special order item. Ship to house or perhaps you can ship to store for local pickup. Under 60 bucks, prolly have to add shipping. I don't have any discount codes for autozone though.

This is not a DIY project. You can't replace the rubber yourself, but there are places to have yours rebuilt...or buy a rebuilt one. It's just a process of pouring fresh elastomeric rubber and bonding the ring in place.
see: Damperdoctor.com There is a fellow (in Oregon I believe) who does this also, I had mine rebuilt by him. Search this site as well as the web.

Also, the 230/250 are interchangeable, but not the 292..don't accidentally get a 292 balancer.

Whatever you do, DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE until you replace it! See Txfirefighters comment again.

Not according to the LMC link. There is a different part # for the 230 and 250 pullies.THis can very well be the reason for a wobbling pulley on a 230.

They do interchange, but the 230 has a single belt groove and the 250 has two belt grooves. Other than having an unused groove, functionally they swap.
