InterestingCame factory on my 68 production for 69 model
Why would you want to?I know this is an old post, but does anyone know if the felt washer can be purchased separately anywhere?
Thanks
Because I have a balancer that has provisions for such a part. No reason not to.Why would you want to?
If it cost money there is a reason not to. IMO. But it is yours so have at it.Because I have a balancer that has provisions for such a part. No reason not to.
From what research I have done I have found that it serves two purposes: Keeping dust away from the seal and wicking very small amounts of oil seepage found around the seal.
Some say inside some outside. Know of any diagrams showing either?IIRC it's used inside of the timing cover in front of the oil slinger....
I was thinking the same. ThanksI'm pretty sure it isn't intended for inside. Why would anyone want to put something like that inside when it can disintegrate and make it's way through the oiling system.
At least that's my thought process.

God I thought we cleared that up along time ago. However I want to say you went about getting the correct information the right way. Good job.This thread is a couple years old but here’s some information. I too was confused by the felt “donut” so I searched and came up with this thread. Most everybody leaned to putting it on the outside but there were a few who were animate that went inside between the oil slinger and the backside of the case. I didn’t find the definitive answer I was looking for.
I called the Felpro tech line and spoke with Eric. He says it’s a dust shield that goes between the rear of the harmonic balancer and the front of the case. It’s designed for heavy dust applications but fine to use in everyday situations.
I hope this helps for those with similar questions.
