G'day all, especially Eric. I found that using a 1938 harmonic balancer on a 1954 327 ( to clear the front cross member) required the boring out of the approx 0.375 washer so that the 54 bolt pulls the balancer up hard onto the crank. The standard 1954 washer simply bottoms on the crank before it tensions the balancer. Unfortunately the 288/327 motor requires a bit of adjustment of the firewall ( iaw with the Packard Tech Instruction, of course) so there is not a lot of room left for changing fan belts etc. I have finished panel beating the RHF guard after a Kangaroo strike in November so it is back on the road again. best Regards Peter Toet.
