If there was such a balancer, one that had the necessary dimensions to work, except the timing mark off 15 degrees, we would hear about it weekly on every Mopar forum out there.

Good. Check and measure the balancer. Then you’ll know for certain, and can take the next step with confidence.

1. It is not possible to put on an incorrect balancer. 2. The balancer outer ring could spin. 3. I don’t know if a screwdriver in the plug hole is very accurate. The piston does not move much +/- 1” either side of TDC. 4. 1” is 15 degrees. It doesn’t explain why you need 40 degrees for...

Is the piston 1 inch down in the bore at TDC, or is the Balancer off by 1” from the TDC mark?

Did you use a piston stop or a dial indicator with the head off. How did he check?

I really don’t understand what you did to come to this conclusion. Please elaborate on what you did to establish true TDC and the evidence that it is incorrect by 1”.

We have no idea what your goals are for the car

I don’t think anyone is questioning the physics of accelerating a rotating mass. I think the question is: does it really matter? The answer to that question can only be decided by the OP. And he is getting feedback, hopefully it’s helping him. Beyond just the mass, the power required to...

Just curious. We've only changed/tested wheel and tire changes. Not one or the other. We gained a tenth. But the front tire went from a narrow bias ply to a considerably wider steel belt. I would guess that the location of the weight matters considerably, and the change is probably not linear...

Same size tires?

If you go to the track it will show up on the time slip, both et, and mph. I think it’s meaningful. That said, if you only drive on the street, your butt meter will not know the difference.

I think most know that I’m no stranger to disagreeing. Just no point in throwing the Red X.

I would never give you, or anyone a Red X, at least not intentionally. Must have fat fingered it scrolling on my phone.

Or 1330 to either 7260 or 7290.

Just take off the air cleaner assembly, flip it over and check the gap. Your tightest pinch point will likely just as the base rolls down to the filter.

Looks nice. How close is the lid to the base?

I make them as needed

I kinda though I used a 1/4 grade 8 bolt.

I got the right size bolt (don’t remember the size) ground the threads off to center it in the roll pin. basically a home made stepped punch. Kinda surprised me how well it works. That thing is still kicking around in a tool box somewhere.

Who told you that? And, why then are you here asking us? Without some details about the motor and heads, no one can answer your question. What does the car run now (et and mph), and what is your track performance goal? What is your cranking cylinder pressure? If you don’t know the answer to...
