Default ??? about harmonic balancer

i put a stroker kit and all the fixings in my 89gt put on the new harmonic balancer (ford racing) from summit, and when i put the stroker bolt in it sucked my balancer way back when it finally bottoms out and the bolt gets tight, the crank pulley doesnt line up with all the other pulleys, i pulled it back out so it would line up with pulleys and as soon as i ran the crank bolt in and it sucked it back down. is there a different balancer i need or should i put a spacer on the balancer and space it to line up with others. any help would be great it would be great thanks guys

you need to get a spacer from summit to fix your issues.

There should'nt be a problem with it. the spacer should get the hb and pulley lined back up to where it needs to be. as long as there is nothing hindering (rubbing)the the hb when it bolts up you should be good with just getting the proper size spacer.
