Re: Using my old Harmonic balancer
According to the Mercruiser parts manual, part number 75420 is the same balancer used on all 305 and 350 engines used from 1977 through 1987.
That is the part number I found as well for my GM 305, but I have found two different HB on the Dorman Website for 305s. The difference is the timing mark location. The Dorman Part Numbers are 594-009 timing mark farther away from Key-way than 594-012. So what I am going to do is find TDC on my motor and mark it on the old HB before I pull it so hopefully I get the right one.
594-009 -1993-77 5.0L (305), 5.7L (350) Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, GMC Truck.
594-012 - 1995-69 5.0L (305), 5.4L (327), 5.7L (350) Chevrolet, GMC Truck, Oldsmobile, Pontiac.
