The function of a harmonic balancer is to reduce the amount of torsional deformation in the crank as the cylinders fire. I don't have any experience with them, but am working on retro-fitting a small-block Chevy damper on mine. Looks like it'll just fit in the space that's there.Pete is using a "Rattler" that's available from Speed Equipment sources.I could make a good scientific arguement for their use.The problem as I see it is that there's no room up front to install a big enough one to really compensate for the low frequencies that an "A" kicks out. Ron Kelly puts his in the flywheel and claims that it smooths out the power impulses. Bob Carabbio
