I would like to entertain the purchase of a V balancer again. I hopefully will be getting a new job stating next week and feel it would be a good time to pick that part up. Im currently fighting a serious vibration problem and at this point want to throw parts at it because its been a long standing issue. I just cant figure out what is wrong with this ****ing car. I had the same issue with the last engine and trans. The only thing that is the same is the balancer and drive shaft.
I have a serious problem and you are the only guy that I think can help me. Since I got Nunzzi's headers on the V motor, I CAN'T get the oil filter off the car~! I assembled the engine and frame together before I stuck the whole thing back in the body. I see on your 1969 Bird with the V motor, you have some kind of 303 oil filter adaptor whereas it screws directly to the block and does into have the traditional turn down oil filter housing adaptor. Maybe this will solve my issue? Do you know where I can get a set up like yours? I can't even get the filter on and off from the top without unbolting the engine mounting bolts. What a pain this has turned into.
Les Iden said you may be able to help me. I need to know if the 428HO Long branch cars from 67 had the french clips (retainers) for the bolts on the exhaust manifolds.
