Default 68 HP Balancer

Hi, anyone know if a 68 SB 327/350 (HP-L-79) came with the "finned" 8 inch balancer or the non finned one? Thanks, john

Non finned 8" is correct for 1966 through 1968 327 - 350 HP and all 350 Corvettes 1969 through 1982. Think they were all the same and not date coded. The finned 8" was for 1962 through 1965 340 HP or more and were date coded.
