Greetings - The harmonic balancer on my daily-driver '92 F-150 went south last week, and got me to thinking. If a 25 year old balancer can fail, how about the 49 year old one on my '67 R/T? I have the top and front of the motor off right now for a bit of detailing, and it's the golden opportunity to replace it. My question: I can buy one off RockAuto.com for a few bucks, and Summit has a stock replacement for about the same money ($100 or so). Are these adequate for a dead-stock replacement, or is there smart money to be spent here on one of the more expensive performance-style balancers? I want to get an adequate part, but don't want to over-spend on something that I'll never need on a stock engine. It will never be modified beyond OEM components. Any insight is appreciated.
Cheers!
JD
