TaylorM Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Need some help. I have a 1959 230 in my Plymouth and the harmonic balancer is cracked. I cant find a single picture or info on this balancer. It is a single integrated v belt. Not a bolted on pulley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Roberts Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) This might or might not help ; Some have had their dampers repaired by The Damper Doctor . They should have a lot of professional information . Edited June 18, 2019 by Jerry Roberts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorM Posted June 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thanks jerry. I sadly have already tried them. Mine is crack so its not able to be repaired. I sent them a picture of mine but no luck locating one so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eneto-55 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Could you post a photo of yours? Is it the same as that used back as far as '55, or was it a new design in '59? Edited June 19, 2019 by Eneto-55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorM Posted June 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Its a single piece design not the bolt on pulley type. I'd love to post a picture but the file size is to large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Reddie Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hello and welcome, I noticed this other place online called Damper Dudes also in CA. The number listed is (800) 413-2673. If no help is there, I would do what Andydodge says and see if another year may fit. Search for auto salvage yards that feature vintage Mopar cars. Good luck to you.

kencombs Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 I think most any Mopar flathead dampener/balancer will fit the crank. That one looks to be a true dampener with a bonded rubber hub, early ones were not. Most were only pulley holders. My 56 is solid with a bolt on pulley. Would really like to find one like yours though. As long as it fits the crank and has a pulley either made on, or bolt on, you can interchange something else until the rubber bonded type is available. I wouldn't run that one, too much risk of it expanding and damaging the keyway in the crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
