I do not know but not all 302s got the 8&quot;Big Thick Balancer. I think a light weight balancer and light weight fly wheel would rev faster.

on the farm we had a 68 chevy C50 grain truck that had a balancer like that.

The 69's were one year style with the offset timing mark and the extended &quot;Y&quot; shape on the front of the balancer. Don't think service replacement balancers had the assembly line &quot;Y&quot; shape on the front.

So some 67 but all 68 were like the the L-79 harmonic balancer. Were the so called ce 302 were in early 68 the L-79 or the big 8&quot; harmonic balancer. Any help.

1966 and 1967 L79 balancer's were like the 67-68 Z/28 balancer's. They look just like the 69 302 balancers but the 69's have the offset timing mark. The 1969 balancer also used a redesigned timing chain cover because of the offset timing mark. The width of a 69 302 assembly line balancer is about 1.75 inches just like the 67 and 68 balancers.

The 66,67,68,and 69's 302 balancer all look the same and are 8&quot; balancer. So the truck 350 and car 350 are all the same too. So the different cu. in. and the different crankshaft all took the same 8&quot; Harmonic Balancer{except the 400 sbc}.

350/300 or 350/250 motors are different Paul. They are 8&quot; but much thinner than the L79's, 67-68 302's and the 69 302's. My 69 SS nova is not the same as my 69 Z/28. 8&quot; but thinner.
