Performance Balancer with AC Pulley

Posted August 10, 20186 yr

I am looking at replacing my stock harmonic balancer with a performance unit since the rubber ring in my original is cracking and crumbling. However, the Euro style balancer that MSA and ZCar Depot sells indicates it does not accept stock pulleys. The Professional Products balancer 428-90055 says it is similar to the original Euro balancer. At some I would like to add air conditioning to my 240z and want to make sure I invest in the right balancer. Is anyone running a performance balancer and AC in their Z car? If so, can you provide any details that you have? Thank you!

That is not a bad option. I spoke to them a minute ago and they said it would be $199 plus tax and shipping for probably around $230 - $240 all said and done.

Dale Manufacturing is another repair option. They charge about $130. http://www.hbrepair.com/

Thank you Jeff. If I ship it off soon I will get it back in time as they are closed in September.

Thank you for the offer 7tooZ. That is very generous of you. I am just going to send my balancer off and get it rebuilt. Since I eventually want to add AC that seems like the best way to go. I will update this post on the company I choose and my result with them.

Good news! Got my balancer back from Dale and it looks a lot better now. I will re-paint it blue once the engine comes back but wanted to share a picture. Dale was great to work with and the total turn around was 8 days with shipping to and from. If anyone is looking to get their stock balancer rebuilt, give Dale a call.
