I picked up a new driver today....'63 Cruiser, auto, 289, P/
S.......engine was rebuilt about 8 years ago. Guy I bought it from
said harmonic balancer was installed wrong? Is that possible? Car is
still licensed...small issue with thermostat housing...snapped off
bolt, will drill out monday. Going to be my daily driver.

I have seen it done although that statement is kind of vague. You can
put the parts of the damper together wrong but you have to really work
at doing that. The holes only line up one way. I have seen a few
'forced' on wrong. Is there a vibration or are the pulleys wobbling
or not lining up? Funny noises?

supposed to have the timing mark way off...I will know more tomorrow
after I drill out the thermo housing bolt and replace it. He also
said the carb was not right...I have one on the shelf that John
Reinhardt of Bedias, Tx rebuilt for my grandpa
