I have a Pontiac 400 which is apparently from a "low performance" car, with an Edelbrock intake and 750cfm carb. I felt a vibration at highway cruise 65-70mph, and even at idle, after investigating I noticed it had only a hub on the crank, so I went and bought a Powerbond damper. PN#PB1056N, this is NOT a balancer, but a damper. Some have claimed that installing this will cause a further imbalance of the assembly and ruin the bearings. I assume this is incorrect as letting the harmonics continue in a high performance application would do damage. I think this was due to their belief that the damper is a weighted balancer?
My question is:
With this installed, I obviously cannot use the stock timing tab, it appears that Ken's Speed produces a timing tab for people in my situation, with a damper on a non-original application. Will this combination work? It looks like all I need is his timing tab to have a proper damper set up on my car? (I would rather avoid changing the timing cover out)
Thanks!
