For an entire childhood and more.I think today I’ve learned don’t ask for what 10 min of your own thinking will show you. Especially of strangers. For the most part.Today I watched my balancer at all angles. During crank, free rev, and load.It makes no obvious sign of failure except in very. Very specific driving conditions. Where it ever so slightly affects performance. It’s not rummaging around and affecting my timing light. I just can’t see it with the block of a gun I have. The car purs and aside from me wanting to see those marks it is not possible to better time this car. It’s better than ford did it. With the Gasoline I have.But yall helped me see an issue I’ve noticed in those so slight and specific performance conditions. and I’ve learned something. I don’t Aim to be the askhole.We do our own work on everything on our property and I’ve never touched or been concerned with a harmonic balancer even enough for a good look while I’m there. My grandfather put this car up for me. I imagine it’s hard for a performance engine to see the end of a harmonic balancer. It was protected mostly. There is only rust on certain parts because it was near the limestone of the Whitfield Canal. Not a speck anywhere else. I’ve only saw the end of one performance engine and it was that old Pontiac with my learners permit. That Pontiac was owned before The Bandit in movie. Bought out of Selma Alabama before the town fell. That town held on to good things of this country. For about a decade and a half.I appreciate all conversations and I believe that’s what I’m here for. I really do.I took a picture of my timing marks and someone noticed something I couldn’t have known of that doesn’t seem to be affecting the cars timing. But is a performance issue slightly. Under the right conditions I’ve noticed. And didn’t know what it was. That’s for certain. And it has gotten worse. I’m aiming a Cinder Block with a bulb in it. But I have timing perfected. I just can’t Read it. Couldn’t see it.  There is a lot of “sn95s” out there better off crushed. I love mine more than anything. My car is no old beater.I hold on to these kind of things.There’s no intent it’s just me.I don’t Aim to make you wrongI promise you can’t woop me but that’s for another forum.I love y’all good fellows.I appreciate everything[ATTACH=full]32507[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
