Aligning balancer for Lt1??? Just fired up a 93 Lt1 from a fresh rebuild and have a slight engine vibration. A new crank was installed and I do not see any marks for the harmonic balancer to line up to for proper balancing.
The crank is keyed and the balancer has an arrow on it but I have nothing to line it to. The adapter that the balancer bolts to has no specific position to be placed and is a pressed fit.
Can anyone help me out with a little info on where to go from here???

Technically GM specifies to put the engine at #1 TDC and set the notching or arrow on the hub and balancer to the 12 o clock position but it is not necessary. You don't have a keyed hub though correct? Just the key for the crank timing gear is all that car should have unless modified.
