[DeTomaso] Crankshaft damper

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Arnie, 

I second Doug's recommendation. The rubber component of that stock dampener is aged and infirm and a big liability to use in any performance vehicle. If you expect it to rev and go fast, then you would do well to buy a modern harmonic balancer. 

Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
