That's a great unit, I think.

Dan Jones recommended this one to me yesterday:

http://www.precisionparts.com.au/Pages/Product%20Profile/powerbond.htm

I got the Powerbond SFI race unit from his buddy Alex for $268, including 
shipping.

BTW Larry Stock phoned me today and told me that it was probably a good 
thing his distributor conked out (because his engine was several quarts low on 
oil); he went to time it and found that his timing marks were appearing, and 
then disappearing, then appearing again--his outer ring was sliding all 
over the place.

For some strange reason he doesn't believe in quality aftermarket 
balancers.   Instead he just has stock units rebuilt by Damper Dudes in Redding.   
He's seen a bunch of motors with the crank snouts snapped off and attributes 
that to aftermarket dampers (perhaps true of 'gimmick' units like Fluidamper, 
but IMHO not likely caused by quality units like the Romac or Powerbond...)
