Anticipation of Balancer purchase question

[AZ-Nick]

I have a 69 340 with passenger side timing mark pointer location.
I’ve read about 15 posts so far and I haven’t seen an option for purchasing a new balancer with the timing marks on the passenger side, does any company offer one?

The mark is not in the same place 70 up and 69 down on the balancer.

Some say it is but I have a 70 up timing cover and a 67 273 balancer with bolt on pass side marker.

No matter which cylinder I use the timing is not the same on both markers. It's about 10 to 15 deg different.

That being said...

If you have a 69 timing marker and a 70 up balancer. It's not hard to find TDC and mark the new balancer for TDC

not to my knowledge, no.

some timing tape and a piston stop will solve that problem though.

I know what you mean and that’s what I would have to do but I think I might as well keep the original one that I put tape on it a while ago because it’s still In good condition. If I changed cams I was thinking about replacing it with a newer one without any rubber in it.

why were you thinking of changing it in the first place?

*edit* NM, i saw upthread that you mentioned the bonded rubber. fair enough point.

Fyi...

I saw a link to a Mopar reseller that offers a Rebuilt balancer.

Remanufactured harmonic balancer for 1967-69 Plymouth Barracuda - Valiant and Dodge Dart with 273/318/340 engine

You send them your Balancer and they rebuild it.

Pricy but if they do a rubber replacement that is OEM quality and surface the sealing surface it might be worth it.

I was looking for same thing, couldn't find one. Went to Trickflow and bought one of theirs. Had to remark it as I wanted to dress the 340 like a 273 with bolt on timing tab.

Not that I know of, I run a trickflow with 1968 bolt on scale with timing tape.

Exactly as in post #9. Just remark a new one. Easy peasy. Search "Hillbilly Timing Tape" by member @crackedback. Sheer genius.
