Cars together (finally) and running great.
(Eagle 383 fully built and tuned) 24X conversion

Please advise...

Loctite, before you dork up the threads in the crank.

If the balancer is wobbling, something is not together right, the balancer is bad or possibly a busted crank.

Bolt the proper length? not too long?

BALLSS

OP

you say "balancer fell off"...when you install it do you have to use a "pull tool" or does it just "slide" on the crank?

you should not have to use loc-tite...something is wrong if bolt keeps coming out and damper/hub come off.

Is this a manual trans car? I worked on an old school SBC that had the same problem, it ended up being a bent input shaft on the trans, he couldn't keep a balancer on it for more than a few minutes.

Could be that the nose of the crank is either worn down, due to the hub continually falling off, or machined undersize by mistake.
