Balancer and flywheel

I dropped off my block at machine shop other day, and asked about balancung the crankshaft, wheter i needed to get all the pistons, rings, etc. For him to weigh them and balance. I had seen it done on utube, so was asking what he needed. He asked me if the balancer was internally balanced or not. He showed me a balancer in his stock, and showed me how the inner part was partially ridged. He saud the other type was fully rounded over the circunference of the balancer, so, my question is which would be on the 63 390 engine.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?

My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.

Many thanks,

Hey guys,
