I might consider it, after I finally pull the original motor, but can’t predict when exactly (ongoing process). It was rebuilt (Damper Dude) years ago, and I’ll have to calculate it’s millage.

I am interested in it.  What are you looking to get for it?  !955 - 1957 are all the same balancers.

Thanks

I dunno. I’d have to call the D. Dude and see what he typically charges for cores when in stock, and then subtract pro-rated age/mileage from rebuild cost, or from difference of what NOS ones sell for (though a rebuilt might be better, considering how rubber deteriorates with age). I might want to wait a bit though, to make sure the NOS one I installed on the fresh motor doesn’t fail immediately, and the Dude plans to stay in business awhile yet 😁. Have you tried the Dude? He might have rebuilt cores for sale (?).

If all else fails, check with Innovators West, I bought a TB damper from them for my '55.  Joe-JDC

It hadn’t occurred to me to mention until I saw the photo, but mine is single pulley.

Are you sure you have a 55-57 Tbird damper? I thought all had double pullleys; mine does.

Out of curiosity, I just looked at Innovators West site; I wasn't aware that they had a Tbird application. However, it says "Uses 4-bolt Late Model SBF Pulley Pattern." It also says "does not retain stock accessory belt offsets.Please contact Eaton Balancing (254-857-3339) for further details."
