Cobra Automotive now offers an exact duplicate of the original 289 High Performance harmonic balancer.
The new balancer is made from the original Ford blueprints and is identical in every way (other than the original Ford logo and part number), with the original timing scale perfectly engraved along the outer surface. The new Hi-Po balancer has a totally correct appearance.
This is a fully-balanced replacement piece that eliminates the use of old Hi-Po balancers that allow the timing marks to continuously move because of the dried-up inner rubber liner. It will bolt onto any 289 Hi-Po engine from '63-'67, or any 289 engine to give the engine the same appearance as a 289 Hi-Po.
The balancer comes nicely packaged with the correct original part number #C6OE-6316-A on the outside of the box. Price is $295 each.
Cobra Automotive specializes in Ford high performance parts and period-correct engine detailing components, as well as specialized chassis and suspension parts for all ’65-’70 Mustangs and Shelbys.
