If you have one, it would look like this:

They are real hard to find though and restored mint condition ones sell for about $400.

yeah thats the one.
Ill look for it in my loft in the garage.
I hope I still got it for ya.
if memory serves me right that same balancer was used on other engines aswell with same stamp.
I found an original unused in original box here

Dawg, Thanks for trying, but the EBay one is not an original. The auction has "Not the correct style. Item is new aftermarket".

Just a 'heads-up': Make sure that you know EXACTLY what he will be doing to these components and EXACTLY what you will get back. A lot of people into Camaros think Jerry is "the man". I'm not one of them, and I'm talking from personal experience:

Wow!!!! That was you! Holy Moly!!!! I had read that entire thread and had even printed it out to go through it thorougly and I had no idea that was your carb. Jeez I should have looked closer at the original poster name. It made me really wonder what was going on at his shop.

The parts that I gave him though were really in pathetic shape. The booster sounded like it had a lot of sand in it from deterioration and everything looked like it just came out of a dumpster.

^^Yeah, that was me.

For restoring the finish on bits & pieces, check out Steve Gregori's work at www.brakeboosters.com. I just got back some hardware from him and it came out very nice.

Very nice!!! He does beautiful work.

....Alfred just emailed me another 1969 picture of him and the car. This picture is not as faded as the other ones and it's before he put the fog lights on.

He also said he is sending me one original picture. This one (with fog lights):

I wonder what the combined value of every car in that parking lot is right now.

jeff68 08-18-2011 11:46 AM

Looking at vintage pictures like that never gets old. You start to pick up on other things - like the 5-spoke wheel/ Polyglas tire combo on the car next to him. Great stuff.
