    I have the top cylinder not firing at idle and to about 1/2 throttle -- at half to full it runs fine. Turning the low speed screw in/out has no effect on engine. Can I assume the carb only needs cleaning or can there be electrical gremlins causing this? I have cleaned and rebuilt lots of cars...

    Harmonic Damper for 5.0 GM - Interchange

    Long story short, damper is rusting away and needs replaced. Can I just use any 8" GM damper that fits the 5.0/5.7?? Don't see anything special about this one?? I believe all the GM dampers are drilled with the same three holes that will accept the raw water pump??
