need to make sure you run the 28oz weights if your running the vintage motor or the 50 oz if its a late model motor

And technically it's an absorber, not a dampener. But that's a scientific nomenclature issue. Fluidamprs are the only balancers I'm aware of that actually are dampeners rather than absorbers. And technically the shock absorbers on your car are dampeners, and not absorbers. I think physicists are the only ones that care. And me.

Got a link for the balancer you bought?

Your engine is most likely not internally balanced, therefore you should use the 28 oz counter weight. It should bolt on to the back side if I'm not mistaken.
