302 balancer

[Plowman]

The balancer pictured in the first post is a 69 DZ 302 or not. Also only thick 8" 302,327,and 350 balancers is for a large or small journal and 1968 302. Is a 67 a small journal crank and a 69 has a large journal crank, I would think the balancers would match the crank.

first picture looks like a 283 or 327 balancer. 67 Z's were small journal cranks. Pretty much a 283 crank was used for the 67 Z/28's. 68's and 69's were large journal cranks but all Z/28's 67 thru 69 took the wide 8" balancer. 1969 was the first year for the offset timing mark though.

So you can use a small balancer...

Gotta bolt the fan belt pulley to something.

Previous owner of the engine changed to the smaller balancer for &quot;more revs&quot; apparently. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Crank Butt:

don't think so! maybe it is a 283 crank with bearing spacers? That is the correct &quot;V&quot; at the crank butt.
