So Im new to this site, did a little searching and didnt come up with a good answer. Even googled the crap out of my computer and nothing so here it goes...
I have a 79 plymouth volare, 225 supersix with a 2bbl and the good ol a904 non-lock up trans. I just rebuilt the engine a couple months ago and my reverse just went out so Im rebuilding it next. Now heres the question, the rebuilt engine is an early 70s model with the forged crank, the original engine was a cast crank. I have read that the early ones were internally balanced and the harmonic and torque converter had a neutral balance. I do not see any balance wieghts on the converter itself and I think I remember putting the balance off the original engine (it had two grooves for all the accesories). Am I in danger of damaging the engine, if so what crank pulley should I search for and should I replace the converter as well?
Thanks in advance and hopefully folks around here are easier with the newbies than other forums Ive been on are lol.
