We're not finished but getting closer. We ran into another problem with the March pulley system. The harmonic balancer isn't right. It spaces the crank pulley out about a 1/4 inch to far.

It would be a project car if it didn't fight you along the way. Sometimes I think back at the number of hoops I had to go through to get the Vette done . . . and I shudder.

Dont mean to be insulting, but you sure the balancer is down all the way on the crank?

You could put a pair of stock pulleys on loosely to be sure the March pulleys are the problem.

The stock balancer that came with engine doesn't work with the March kit. It has a two groove pulley built into it and has three bolt holes for additional pullies to bolt to the front of it. The March system uses a balancer from a later model year that uses a 4 bolt pulley. Also, the balancer is all the way on, I used my balancer install tool and then torqued it down. The one thing about the new balancer is that it has a built in spacer that is just about the distance that the pulley is off by. We need one that is just flat.

I took a picture from Saturday because I had a replacement for Adam help out for a little while. Kylie helped install some intake bolts and torqued them down.

I'm sure she is doing a better job than Adam.....

Did Andy talk to you about the spacer for the crank he found yesterday? He thought it was used for auto transmission cars but wasn't sure?

Also, do you know what balancer he needs for that March system?

I used to end up calling March on every app cause every one was different..just call them..hopfully they can help



What is the thickness of the spacer?

Andy called them before he ordered the one we used. He's going to call them again as well as Summit. We ran into another issue with the March system yesterday when test fitting the A/C brackets. The front and rear backets don't line up correctly so they clock the compressor.

The spacer is about 1/4 inch thick and must have been on the outer side of the flex plate because you can see the marks from the bolts on it. Andy said the engine had an auto behind it so he thought maybe it was for just auto cars. He forgot that it was in his trunk. Everything went together fine with the flywheel so I don't know what that spcer would have been used for.

Shouldn't need the spacer on the flywheel...as far as I know.

Good luck on the March issue. Talk to March directly...
