I got the flywheel balanced to match the flexplate that was on the shortblock when I bought it (was only 25 grams or so out, didn't get to talk to the tech.) they drilled 4 holes on the side of the flywheel. I hope this was my vibration! We'll know in a few hours. (I hope)

Minor set-back due to broken balancer puller. I had to switch back to the original harmonic balancer and ended up ringing off the center bolt in one of those cheapy pullers. Got the clutch/pressure plate and tranny bolted together though. Hopefully after work tomorrow I'll fire up the tractor for the re re-install.

It is in there!! All we lack now is putting the radiator and brackets back in. I will be starting it up tomorrow after work
Then wait on the UPS man with my MSD set-up (tach drive dist.,coil, 6-AL box and Taylor wires)
Hope the vibration is gone.

You will like the MSD setup. I have a Crane HI6 that works great.
