‘RACING EQUIPMENT The Ford 289, 302, 351 engine family has used several different timing pointer locations. Most applications will have a timing pointer at the 2 o’clock, 10 o’clock or 11 0’clock position. These locations are also known as A for 2 o’clock positions, B for 11 o’clock positions, and C for 10 o’clock positions. In order to find the correct balancer for your application you must identify your timing pointer location. With the crankshaft keyway at the 12 o’clock position and the #1 piston at TDC the timing pointer should point to one of the 0° marks on the damper. For a quick check prior to installation, compare the timing marks on the original balancer with the marks on your new balancer to determine if the degree marks are the same. If it looks like the pointer will not line up with either 0° line a new balancer must be purchased or the timing pointer must be moved.
