the harmonic balancer is not supposed to wobble is it? mine is wobbling like crazy...its got to be time for a new one, the rubber is sticking out one side and pressed in the other..

that is common with a factory balancer, i would buy a good aftermarket one.</P>

you are losing horsepower due to the harmonic balancer. the stock balancer is to light for thwe 5.0 h.o. on all the older engines like the 289 hipo and the boss 302 they had bigger balancers. the enegry that usually goes to the ground is being eat up by the viberations. vibratech makes a nice fluidamper.
