Simple, Simple question regarding harmonic balancers

66signalflare · 03-31-2001, 04:03 PM

Seems like what should be the simplest questions are hard to get an answer to through research. Here it is, on a 66 A code 289, California car. What color is the harmonic balancer painted, Black or Blue?
I've seen both and want to get it right! Thanks

Engine Compartment '64 1/2 - '66 is as follows:

Harmonic Balancer: painted color of block, or flat black, or natural.

Harmonic Balancer Bolts: clear cadmium, or zinc phosphate.

Harmonic Balancer Pulley: flat black; the bolts are zinc phosphate.

End of Crank Shaft: natural.

Crank Shaft Bolt: cadmium plated, or zinc phosphate, heat-treated.

This is for all '64 1/2 - '66 engines and sizes.
