no I didn't,the only thing I did to my car was remove the balancer hub,take out old seal,put in new seal,turn crankshaft a couple of times while trying to install balancer hub and then finally install balancer hub.

mine too. mine starts and stalls all the time now. i cant figure it out. im not about to start dumping tons of money into parts to fix it either.
sometimes mine will just turn over for awhile like there is no spark. then i turn the key off and on and it will sputter and shut off.

First off, the engine is internally balanced. Correct....Next I've seen some LT1 balancers with a weight on them..those balancers have to be aligned correctly. This mostly causes engine shaking. You might to check this first.

The hub position shouldn't have anything to do with the vehicle dying. As far as hub position, Thunder Racing sells a hub machined for a woodruff key so you don't have to worry about which way it came off.
