If you think your balancer is sound but has merely slipped you can get a balancer cover from Jegs for 35 bucks that will correctly index the mark in relation to the 3 front bolt holes. That's the easiest solution. Lots of people screw up cranks swapping balancers so thats the primary risk.

Well i bought a new one and installed it when you compair them you can see how much it had slipped with the new one on the timing was about 1" above the 16 mark took it back to 10 have to reset the carb settings. won't know all the resaults untill I get the new rad in hopefully wed or thrusday. it has been this way for a while still ran ok.
but I have less then 300 miles on this one, so maybe I don't know what ok is. will let you know later....
