If you don't mind me asking....about how much did it cost to balance your driveshaft...I have the original one in my 1990 and debating whether to balance it and powder coat it or just get a built unit and be done with it.

 

The place I went to (same as where moregrip went) charged me like $20 two years ago....but I'm sure I got a deal. Depends on the shop and your relationship with them. It only took them about 15-20 minutes total, including disassembly, balance, and reinstall.

 

Cost me $75 to balance a check everything out

 

Thank you sir!

 

taking the holiday weekend off, sorta at a stand-still anyway, waiting on parts

Hey Richard(WCCH) you going to be around the shop next Tuesday?

 

Yes he will, and the vacuum pump will cost you its weight in gold

 

here's a few pics of the balance work:







FYI, note double spline so driveshafts can only be timed one way

 

Hey Devin; Yes he will be.Just wanna say Merry Christmas and happy holidays,to you and your family.He went home A little early today. REX

 

Sweet! I'll stop by and say hi you going to be around too?

Thanks Rex!, same to you BTW, with the slight lull in assembly I took my degree wheel out, found TDC, and finally completely understand the process of degree'ing a cam using the 50's (.050), took me all day, but I got it. LOL, your just to damn good at what you do for an average guy like me to keep up

 

Hey Grip. Merry Christmas friend. I'll definitely be at the shop on tuesday. I've got a gigantic work load over the holidays. Nice work on getting the parts balance checked. Great insurance. I hope those following this thread are paying attention to the relatively unattractive part of a project like this. Gathering all the loose ends and paying as much attention to detail as the larger parts makes for a thorough job. Nice work.

Richard
