HAMBer down - BAD vibrations in Denton - HELP!!!

We finally made it to Denton, bad intake manifold gasket on the 39 and now Bulletproof has lost his harmonic balancer.


It's the balancer we need help with.

Motor is in a 53 Ford, is from a 1983 Ford van half ton 302 C6... need a balancer and puller.

We're at the Motel 6 on 35 in Denton. We plan on heading to Dans to get plastered.

If you can help, please call 918.857.5279... ask for Bulletproof.

Gracias!

 

Tools ..yes

Shop ..yes

parts ..no

12 west of the motel

 

Wish I could help you out Rash. Hope you get some help dude...

 

Think he is over it ..Ha,Ha ..

But, tomorrow ..if he can scrounge parts, we can fix it here ..If I have to I'll take trailer to pick it up

Just no furd parts on site , he will be taken care of ..with a headache it sounds like

 

Sweet man... hopefully we can track one down. Please give BP a call so we have you digits...

He can still drive but its rattling itself to death, more than usual...

 

Whoops, did not see its a van ?

that won't fit into my enclosed ..can you drive it 12 more ?

I have no small block ford parts but, we have tools and the puller we can either make, borrow, etc

I'm straight west on 380 , right from where you are


I'll pm you my number

 

Its a 53 Ford...

 

I think I've got the part you need.. but I won't be out there until early afternoon. Let me know if I should bring it.

 

You should bring it to the show...

 

AHHHH ..where are my damm glasses !!

Ok, I read the van part .. sorry

Well, if you need me , I'm here and the shop is yours ..

sent the number, can't drive tonight though ..been putzing out here and having a few frosty beverages

 

I'm a Pontiac guy, so I may be totally full of shit, but....Make sure you score the correct balancer, as not all 302 balancers are the same.

Should be plenty of Ford guys around that can give you better info...

Good luck, -Abone.

 

BTTT for ya

 

I'll put it in the truck together with a puller.. Mine is a C8 part no (1968) not sure that's the same as your engine.

 

You can fix it at the show , at least you will not be bored and you will have allot of help !

 

btt

 

Bump.

Have I mentioned that we always supply live entertainment?

 

Since the motor is from a 83 it has to have a 81 and up balancer.

 

^^^^ He's right

 

Dorman part #594-019 is for 81. the book skips 82 and 83 like the plague.

 

did a little more research, factory # is D5DZ-6A312-A. that D5 at the beginning means 1975. mavrick. the number is bad now. there's a dealer in kansas that has 6 leftovers. don't know if this helps at all, but, it's all i can do from here.

 

From the Autozone site that appears to be a 28oz balancer. They only show SFI race balancers for $208 and up, but I see that someone on DFWStangs.net in Midlothian is selling a new one that has never been used for $75 here http://www.dfwstangs.net/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=111955&cat=11

Also, I searched and found a cell phone number he posted back in 2005 on an ad that might still be a good number... 682-472-8605

 

There's 4 I find listed for that engine but since it's vibrating that bad I'll assume it's the externally balanced one. That leaves 2 options from one manufacturer other than dealer that I could find. Seems to be a one or two year only deal as apparently 82 and 83 were pretty transitional for ford.

Repair is nearly finished.

Thanks HAMB!

 

glad to be of help. enjoy the rest of the weekend!

 

To all the fools on the other boards that always bash the Hamb: ^ This is what it's all about. Hamb slays all. Good job guys.

 

There's other boards?

 

Bump!!! Help!! A hamber get hammered!!! Help!!! Bump!!

 

Yeah, they like to talk about nail polish and astrology and do each others hair whilst talking shit about the hamb.

Glad you're gettin fixed. Pinch Mark Ford in the teet for me and tell him he's pretty.

 

I visit other forums sometimes to try and scoop up unwanted flatheads, intakes, 94's, etc.

Here ya go: Street Rod Talk Forums.

Ask about the pedicures

 

Amen to that
