$$$$$$$ Several years ago when my stock damper died in the manner you
have described many times, I contacted the Damper Dudes in California. They
told me that while they could rebuild a stock Ford 351C damper, they did not
recommend it be used in a high performance and high rpm application. They
did not recommend use over 5000 rpm, ( i.e. don't use it in a Pantera, but
go ahead and use it in a full size Ford with an automatic transmission.) I
bought a new harmonic balancer.........
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
