Looking good Sam! Those balancers can be a bear! Never liked the idea of hammering them on. I started brushing on a little moly wheel bearing grease on my pullers & installers - seems to help.

We would put those in the oven for about 4 hours at a hundred eighty degrees they would tap right on my crank still isn't tapped always nice finding this out after the fact maybe next time ..

Glad to see you making progress, Sam.

Thanks for this video. Im scrubbing the internets looking for what everyone and my books talking about threading the bolt into the end of their crankshaft and Im like "I aint got threads I just have a cone end no threads. I could'nt really find an explanation anywhere but here, I will be subscribing and looking for a vid if you pulling out the old one. New sub

Cool video. I didnt know water pump spacers were an option.

Yes they sell them upto a 1/4" or maybe more. Have to be careful cause it may throw off the pulley alignment. All this is temporary to get the engine started, going to do a serpentine conversion kit.

@@ClassicCarOverhaul yes my next car. Will have a pulley kit. Never done one but seems simple just nuts and bolts

I agree on greasing the installer tool, I usually use some white lithium grease or some black moly whichever I have closest! Especially if your gonna do more then a couple

Looking good! Went on smoothly!

looking good. you will have to move your timing tab down to the bottom to bolts so you can get timing correct.

Will have to look for another timing tab, can't move this down it will hit the balancer.

@@ClassicCarOverhaul yes if its hitting you need a different timing tab. it should clear by 1/8 inch or less. measure across the harmonic and let me know i may have one for you.

make sure that the balancer markings match your engine's TDC ... those washers on the water pump might offset your poulies alignment...

May have to look for another timing tab. The water pump is only temporary to get the engine started. I will be changing all that with a long water pump and a serpentine conversion.

Looking good Sam

Looking good man. Can't wait to hear it scream to life!!

nice work Sam ✌✌✌✌✌u have been doing a great job on the impala 64 since u first started the build🍻

make sure you install the correct timimg tab, the one you have is too far from the damper. you will have a very hard time when you go to set the timing.

Looking good brother keep up the good wor

ARP FTW!!!

I see that is a tall water pump. Did the car have the factory short water pump and fan shroud? If it did, you might have to get different pulleys because the ones from the short pump won’t line up when the tall one is used. Thanks for the vid. I’ve been watching since you started. I have a’64 myself. I just dropped a Turbo 350 in it.

question for you. I noticed you haven't installed your struts yet. I have a 1961 impala that I have installed a cpp drop spindle on. I was able to put everything back together but I am having a tough time getting the new strut back in. Do you know any tricks? it seems like it should be simple, but the way that half the spring is covered it is impossible to get a hand up there. Is there a video coming?

👍👍👍
