   I just found out that my Harmonic balancer is shot. I have noticed a
   wide
   range of prices from just over $100 to close to $500 ( I'm sure if i
   tried
   I could find some that were even more expensive. What is the consensus
   as
   far as the harmonic balancer best suited to a Pantera with 351
   Cleveland
   that has been mildly modified? I don't want to spend more money then is

     necessary A , but I also don't want junk. Any pointers or
     suggestions?
     Thanks,
     Boyd
