My local shop replaced the harmonic balancer on my '63 last year. They did not have any trouble installing the used replacement to other existing parts. I did the same job on my '65 over 20 years ago, and don't remember having the difficulty you describe then either. The Damper Doctor should be able to handle the job. I haven't used them, but there wouldn't be much point in repairing this part incorrectly.
Has anyone had experience repairing a ripped out rear crankshaft pulley? My
63 Southampton exoerienced a failure of the rubber mounting ring inside the
a/c-alternator double pulley. I sent away to Bob Hofmeister for a used
pulley, but found that the holes for mounting it on the harmonic balancer did
not line up.
A couple of questions: Why are the mounting holes unequally spaced? Is that
a way to balance the pulley with the harmonic balancer? Is it true, as
Kenyon may have intimated, that the pulleys are mated to the balancer as a
pair?
Damper Doctor says they can revulcanize my pulley, but if they do, will it be
in balance? Since the old rear double-pulley is broken off the shaft of the
double front pulley, it may not be possible to revulcanize it in exactly the
same position on the shaft. Is that a problem?
Has anyone any exoerience with Damper Doctor's work on this type pulley? I
have concerns about sending away the only pulley that seems mated to my
engine.
Thanks,
Barry
