Harmonic Balancer 1964 429 CI

Mike Francioni,

You may want to look at the site, Caddy Daddy, as they have them available for sale. They have been a very reliable site for me, and I rebuilt most of my 1964 Series 62. I really like the parts and service. Think you'll do very well with them. The 64 429 came stock with no center bolt and washer; just a cork plug.

FWIW, if you’re considering getting the balancer rebuilt, then these suppliers are also commonly referenced:

I haven’t used either. I was going to recommend the man who did mine, Dale Manufacturing, but was pleased to see he and wife had retired after 40 years of rebuilding balancers.

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,
