harmonic balancer

[78 Sprint]

I noticed that the rubber ring on my balancer is starting to squeeze out i've heard alot of horrer story about these coming apart. My question is can i just go buy a good after market balancer and install it with out doing any thing else it is on a 454 any help would be apreciated thanks

Pioneer makes a good replacement one. They are alot cheeper than the crazy rattlers or sfi ones.

I believe it is externally balanced it a 030 over 454 thanks

bolting on a replacement will not change anything because it is externally balanced am i right about this.

it should be fine, a stock replacement one is good for 5000 RPM
