Engine Out of Balance?

I have the same problem but with a '72 grandé. I've allready replaced the damper and it got a little better (I think... ), but the vibration is still there. At this moment I'm replacing the flex plate to see if this helps. It could be that damper, crankshaft, pistons and flex plate have to be balanced by a shop. I'm not an expert but I would be very careful with choosing a damper, they told me that you can only use one type.

Now you know that someone on the other side of the world has the same problem!

Now, that's one thing I need to be sure about. I assume that all dampers, 28 oz imbalance would be built or manufactured the same, so I guess that you are referring to the difference maybe between later model 302's with 50 oz imbalance. Does anyone know if there are other possibilities with respect to 28 oz dampers? I'm going to go buy one today or tomorrow, so it would be nice to be sure. Thanks!! Glad to hear I wasn't the only person with this problem
